To balance the chemical equation \( \text{AlCl}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Al(OH)}_3 + \text{HCl} \), follow these steps:
1. Write down the unbalanced equation:
\[
\text{AlCl}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Al(OH)}_3 + \text{HCl}
\]
2. Count the number of each type of atom on both sides:
- **Reactants**:
- Al: 1 (from AlCl3)
- Cl: 3 (from AlCl3)
- H: 2 (from H2O)
- O: 1 (from H2O)
- **Products**:
- Al: 1 (from Al(OH)3)
- Cl: 1 (from HCl)
- H: 4 (3 from Al(OH)3 + 1 from HCl)
- O: 3 (from Al(OH)3)
3. Start balancing the equation:
- Balance the number of chlorine atoms by placing a coefficient of 3 in front of HCl:
\[
\text{AlCl}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Al(OH)}_3 + 3 \text{HCl}
\]
4. Now recount and balance the hydrogen and oxygen:
- On the product side, we now have:
- H: 3 (from Al(OH)3) + 3 (from 3 HCl) = 6
- O: 3 (from Al(OH)3)
5. To balance the hydrogen, place a coefficient of 3 in front of water:
\[
\text{AlCl}_3 + 3 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Al(OH)}_3 + 3 \text{HCl}
\]
6. Now recount the atoms:
- **Reactants**:

The balanced reaction maintains the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.
1. **Write the unbalanced equation**:
\[
\text{BaF}_2 + \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 + \text{KF}
\]
2. **Count the number of each type of atom on both sides**:
- **Reactants**:
- Ba: 1 (from \( \text{BaF}_2 \))
- F: 2 (from \( \text{BaF}_2 \))
- K: 3 (from \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \))
- P: 1 (from \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \))
- O: 4 (from \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \))
- **Products**:
- Ba: 3 (from \( \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \))
- F: 1 (from \( \text{KF} \))
- K: 1 (from \( \text{KF} \))
- P: 2 (from \( \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \))
- O: 8 (from \( \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \))
3. **Balance barium (Ba) first**:
To balance barium, put a coefficient of 3 in front of \( \text{BaF}_2 \):
\[
3\text{BaF}_2 + \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 + \text{KF}
\]
4. **Recount the atoms**:
- **Reactants**:
- Ba: 3 (from \( 3\text{BaF}_2 \))
- F: 6 (from \( 3\text{BaF}_2 \))
- K: 3 (from \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \))
- P: 1 (from \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \))
- O: 4 (from \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \))
- **Products**:
- Ba: 3 (from \( \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \))
- F: 1 (from \( \text{KF} \))
- K: 1 (from \( \text{KF} \))
- P: 2 (from \( \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \))
- O: 8 (from \( \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \))
5. **Balance phosphate (P)**:
To account for the 2 phosphate groups in the product, we need to have 2 \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \):
\[
3\text{BaF}_2 + 2\text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 + \text{KF}
\]
6. **Balance water**:
As we balance potassium from \( \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \) (which contributes 6 K total), we need to balance that with \( \text{KF} \):
\[
3\text{BaF}_2 + 2\text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 + 6 \text{KF}
\]
### Final balanced equation:
After all adjustments, the fully balanced equation is:
\[
3\text{BaF}_2 + 2\text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Ba}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 + 6\text{KF}
\]
### Summary:
The balanced reaction maintains the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.
