Hi everyone here, We have a question asking us to balance the following equation by filling in the coefficients. So let's see what we have on each side. On our reactive side. We have four phosphorus. We have 11 oxygen And we have two hydrogen on our product side. We have one phosphorus for oxygen and three hydrogen. So we're first going to fix our phosphorus and we're gonna do that by putting a four here. So now we have four phosphorus on this side And we have 12 hydrogen And we have 16 oxygen. So now we're going to balance out the hydrogen by putting a six here and now we have 12 Hydrogen and we have 16 oxygen. So we are now balanced and our answer is C six and 4. Thank you for watching. Bye.
