What is the charge of the PO4 ion? It is -3. Potassium (K) is +1. So K3PO4 is balanced, as you would expect. The hydrogen ion is +1, and chlorine (Cl) is -1, so it is balanced. You need 3 hydrogens to offset phosphate (PO4).

K3PO4 + 3HCl = K3Cl3 + H3PO4

Everything has to equal. You have 3 potassiums on one side, you must end up with three on the other.

Do you get phosphoric acid when you mix these reactants? Or do you instead get phosphor and water?
