### Chemical Reaction Balancing

#### Activity: Balance the Following Reaction

In the exercise below, you are tasked with balancing a chemical reaction. Use the drop-down menus to select the appropriate coefficients to ensure the chemical equation obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass.

**Equation to Balance:**
\[ \text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 + \, \text{[ Select ]} \, \text{CaCO}_3 \Rightarrow \, \text{[ Select ]} \, \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 + \, \text{[ Select ]} \]

**Options for Balancing:**
- The coefficient drop-down menu allows the user to select a number between 1 and 5.

The image depicts:
1. **Reactants:**
   - \( \text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 \)
   - \( \text{CaCO}_3 \) with a selectable coefficient
2. **Products:**
   - \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \) with a selectable coefficient
   - \( \text{CO}_2 \) with a selectable coefficient

Below these selections, there are additional drop-down menus to choose coefficients for \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \).

To balance the chemical equation:
1. Select appropriate coefficients for each reactant and product.
2. Ensure the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.

**Instructions:**
1. Identify the number of atoms of each element on the reactants and products side.
2. Use the drop-down selections to match the number of atoms for each element on both sides.
3. Verify your balanced equation by counting the atoms again.

**Example:**
For the reaction:
\[ \text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 + 3 \, \text{CaCO}_3 \Rightarrow \text{1 Ca}_3 \, (\text{PO}_4)_2 + 3 \, \text{CO}_2 \]

- The number 1 before \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \) and 3 before \( \text{CO}_2 \) ensure balanced atoms of each element in the reaction.

Use this interactive exercise to practice and validate your ability to balance chemical equations effectively.
