How do i balance this equation? sodium phosphate reacts with sulfuric acid to form sodium sulfate and phosphoric acid

The balanced equation is given below:

Explanation:

To balance a chemical equation, we follow law of conservation of mass.

This law states that the total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The equation for the reaction of sodium phosphate and sulfuric acid follows:

On reactant side:

Number of sodium atoms: 6

Number of sulfur atoms: 3

Number of hydrogen atoms: 6

Number of oxygen atoms: 20

Number of phosphorous atoms: 2

On product side:

Number of sodium atoms: 6

Number of sulfur atoms: 3

Number of hydrogen atoms: 6

Number of oxygen atoms: 20

Number of phosphorous atoms: 2

As, the number of individual atoms on both the sides of the reaction are equal. Therefore this equation is balanced and follow law of conservation of mass.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
