H3PO4 + KOH yields K3 PO4 + H2O

need help balancing

H3PO4 + 3KOH>  K3PO4 + 3H2O

Explanation

H3PO4 + KOH> K3PO4 + H20

when an hydrogen ion containing acid (HX) reacts with a hydroxide containing base(BOH)  they produce water and a "salt".

water can be called  dihydrogen oxide (H2O), but it can also be called

hydrogen hydroxide (HOH)...same thing.

so the phosphoric acid (H3PO4) contains 3 hydrogen ions (H), and needs 3

hydroxide ions to from 3 hydrogen hydroxides .. that is 3 waters AND A "SALT" WITH THE REMAINING SPECIES ( K AND PO4)      

so let us balance

H3PO4 + 3KOH>K3PO4 + 3HOH  or

H3PO4 + 3KOH>  K3PO4 + 3H2O

Check:

6 H on the left side, 6 H on the right side

1 P on the left side, 1 P on the right side

3 K on the left side, 3 K on the right side

7 O on the left side, 7 O on the right side

abadabaabdabadabathat's all folks

yup it is balanced

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.
