Answer to Question #55721 in General Chemistry for tracy guido

Question

total equation, total ionic equation and ionic equation when combine Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + HCl (aq)
does a reaction take place?

Answer 1

Theoretically, the equation for this reaction is:
Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6HCl(aq) = 3CaCl₂(aq) + 2H₃PO₄(aq)
But theoretical products (CaCl₂ and H₃PO₄) are both water soluble, so the reaction doesn't take place.
