Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 —> 3CaSO4 + 2H3PO4

The coefficients are 1, 3, 3, 2

Explanation:

Ca3(PO4)2 + H2SO4 —> CaSO4 + H3PO4

From the above equation,

There are 3 atoms of Ca on the left and 1 atom of Ca on the right. To balance Ca, put 3 in front of CaSO4 as shown below

Ca3(PO4)2 + H2SO4 —> 3CaSO4 + H3PO4

Now, we have 3 atoms of SO4 on the right and 1atom on the left. To balance SO4, put 3 in front of H2SO4 as shown below:

Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 —> 3CaSO4 + H3PO4

Looking closely, there are 6 atoms of H on the left and 3 on the right. Therefore, it is balanced by by putting 2 in front of H3PO4 as shown below:

Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 —> 3CaSO4 + 2H3PO4

The coefficients are 1, 3, 3, 2
