if you added 3.2652 g of calcium chloride to your diluted sodium phosphate solution what reaction would occur?
Both salts are water-soluble, and after mixing together, they undergo a double-displacement reaction, and they form sodium chloride, which is soluble and remains in solution, and calcium phosphate, which is not soluble in water and precipitates out of solution. The balanced reaction equation can be given as:
2Na3PO4 + 3CaCl2 → 6NaCl + Ca3(PO4)2 (precipitate)
327.88 g 332.94 g 351.0 g 310.17 g (precipitate)
As from balanced equation:
332.94 g of CaCl2 gives --------- 310.17 g of Ca3(PO4)2 as precipitate
Then 3.2652 g of CaCl2 will gives------3.2652 X 310.17 / 332.94
= 1012.767084 / 332.94 g of Ca3(PO4)2 as precipitate
= 3.041 g Ca3(PO4)2 as precipitate
