Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction: a0srcl2 + a1li3po4 → a2sr3(po4)2 + a3licl

 aoSrCl2 + a1 Li3PO4 → a2Sr3(PO4)2  + a3 LiCl

The coefficients that will  balance  the  equation    above  are

ao= 3

a1=2

a2=1

a3=6

 explanation

 The  balanced  equation is therefore as  below

           3SrCl2 +2Li3PO4→ Sr3(Po4)2  + 6 LiCl

 3  moles  of  SrCL2  react with  2 moles of Li3PO4  to  form  1  moles  of Sr3(PO4)2   +  6  moles of  LiCl

 The balanced equation obey law of mass  conversion  of a chemical  reaction since the mass  of the product is equal to mass  of reactant.

for  example  in reactant  side we have  3  Sr  which is the same in product side.

The answer is the first option just took the test

So what you would do is go through and add 3 teaspoons(tsp) 6 times because of the 6 tablespoons(tbsp). which will give you an answer of 18. another way is to multiply 3x6=18.
