Input interpretation
H_3PO_4 phosphoric acid + Ba(OH)_2 barium hydroxide ⟶ H_2O water + BaHPO_4 barium hydrogen phosphate
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_3PO_4 + Ba(OH)_2 ⟶ H_2O + BaHPO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_3PO_4 + c_2 Ba(OH)_2 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 BaHPO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, P and Ba: H: | 3 c_1 + 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 + c_4 O: | 4 c_1 + 2 c_2 = c_3 + 4 c_4 P: | c_1 = c_4 Ba: | c_2 = c_4 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | H_3PO_4 + Ba(OH)_2 ⟶ 2 H_2O + BaHPO_4

Write the balanced chemical equation: H_3PO_4 + Ba(OH)_2 ⟶ 2 H_2O + BaHPO_4 Assign stoichiometric numbers, ν_i, using the stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, from the balanced chemical equation in the following manner: ν_i = -c_i for reactants and ν_i = c_i for products: chemical species | c_i | ν_i H_3PO_4 | 1 | -1 Ba(OH)_2 | 1 | -1 H_2O | 2 | 2 BaHPO_4 | 1 | 1 The rate term for each chemical species, B_i, is 1/ν_i(Δ[B_i])/(Δt) where [B_i] is the amount concentration and t is time: chemical species | c_i | ν_i | rate term H_3PO_4 | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[H3PO4])/(Δt) Ba(OH)_2 | 1 | -1 | -(Δ[Ba(OH)2])/(Δt) H_2O | 2 | 2 | 1/2 (Δ[H2O])/(Δt) BaHPO_4 | 1 | 1 | (Δ[BaHPO4])/(Δt) (for infinitesimal rate of change, replace Δ with d) Set the rate terms equal to each other to arrive at the rate expression: Answer: | | rate = -(Δ[H3PO4])/(Δt) = -(Δ[Ba(OH)2])/(Δt) = 1/2 (Δ[H2O])/(Δt) = (Δ[BaHPO4])/(Δt) (assuming constant volume and no accumulation of intermediates or side products)
