Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3/2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

aCaCO3+bH3PO4→pCa3PO42+qCO2+rH2O First balance the `phosphate group and calcium atom, So, 3CaCO3+2H3PO4→pCa3PO42+qCO2+rH2O After that balance the carbon atom, 3CaCO3+2H3PO4→pCa3PO42+3CO2+rH2O After that balance the oxygen and hydrogen atoms,…
