SUMMARY

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Barium Oxide (BaO) and Diphosphorus Pentoxide (P2O5) is 3 BaO + P2O5 → Ba(PO3)2. The product formed is Barium Phosphate (Ba(PO3)2), which is derived from the combination of the reactants. The balancing of the equation requires ensuring that both the number of atoms and the charges are equal on both sides of the equation.

The Attempt at a Solution



The only one possible product I've been able to arrive at is Ba(PO3)2 but this is based on no science whatsoever. I can't find anything in my text that helps me predict this product
THANKS!

That would be my guess too.

Sometimes if you don't have any guidance on what the product or products would be, you just have to play around with the reactants and see what you can make as long as everything balances (charges and equation).
