Is the equation balanced? Why or why not?
Na3PO4 + 3 KOH --> 3 NaOH + K3PO4
O Yes because the law of conservation of energy is followed. There are equal amounts of energy in the reactants and
products.
No because the law of conservation of energy is not followed. There are different amounts of energy in the reactants
and products.
No because the law of conservation of matter is not followed. The mass of the reactants is greater than the mass of the
products.
o Yes because the law of conservation of matter is followed. There are equal numbers of atoms of all elements in the
reactants and products.

Yes because the law of conservation of matter is followed. There are equal numbers of atoms of all elements in the

reactants and products.

Explanation:

A balanced equation conform to the law of conservation of matter. While unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed.

Na3PO4 + 3KOH —> 3NaOH + K3PO4

A careful observation of the above equation proved that the equation is balanced is balanced because there are equal numbers of atoms of all elements in the

reactants and products.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
