I need help!! =(

Post by helpme! »

Magnesium hydroxide + ammonium phosphate = magnesium phosphate + ammonia + water

MgOH2+(NH4)3PO4=Mg3(PO4)2+NH3+H2O

is this correct? and why can't I balance the equation??
THanks!

3 Mg(OH)2 + 2 (NH4)3PO4 = Mg3(PO4)2 + 6 NH3 + 6 H2O
there you go the only reason why you cudnt balance it was that you were not putting brackets () around OH in MgOH2 ..
