Answer

6 Explanation 1. Balance Phosphorus Ensure equal phosphorus atoms on both sides. 2 (NH_{4})_{3}PO_{4} gives 2 PO_4^{3-}. 2. Balance Barium Use 3 Ba(NO_{3})_{2} to balance 3 Ba^{2+} with Ba_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}. 3. Balance Ammonium and Nitrate 6 NH_{4}NO_{3} balances 6 NH_4^+ and 6 NO_3^- from 2 (NH_{4})_{3}PO_{4} and 3 Ba(NO_{3})_{2}.

Explanation

1. Balance Phosphorus<br /> Ensure equal phosphorus atoms on both sides. 2 $(NH_{4})_{3}PO_{4}$ gives 2 $PO_4^{3-}$.<br />2. Balance Barium<br /> Use 3 $Ba(NO_{3})_{2}$ to balance 3 $Ba^{2+}$ with $Ba_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}$.<br />3. Balance Ammonium and Nitrate<br /> 6 $NH_{4}NO_{3}$ balances 6 $NH_4^+$ and 6 $NO_3^-$ from 2 $(NH_{4})_{3}PO_{4}$ and 3 $Ba(NO_{3})_{2}$.
