Answer to Question #286973 in General Chemistry for mom

Question

1.     Write the a) balanced molecular, b) complete ionic and c) net ionic equations for the following reaction.

Ca₃(PO₄)₂(aq) + H₃PO₄(aq) ⟶ Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(aq)

Answer 1

a) Balanced equation

Ca₃(PO₄)₂(aq) + 4H₃PO₄(aq) ⟶3 Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(aq)

b) Complete ionic equation

3Ca²⁺ + 2PO₄^3-_(aq) + 12H⁺ +PO₄^3-_(aq) ⟶ 3Ca(H₂PO₄)_2(aq)

c) Net ionic equation

Ca²⁺ + 2PO₄^3- ⟶ Ca(H₂PO₄)_2(aq)
