Write a balanced ionic equation forNa3PO4(aq) + NiCl2(aq) → Ni3(PO4)2(s) + NaCl(aq)

Jules Bruno · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation:2 Na3PO4(aq) + 3 NiCl2(aq) → Ni3(PO4)2(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)Write the total or full ionic equation• soluble ionic compounds separate and become ions in the chemical equation• compounds that are aqueous can break up into ions• insoluble compounds (solids, liquids, and gases) will not break up the solution[readmore]2 Na3PO4(aq) + 3 NiCl2(aq) → Ni3(PO4)2(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)▪ 2 Na3PO4(aq) → 6 Na+(aq) + 2 PO43-(aq)▪ 3 NiCl2(aq) → 3 Ni2+(aq) + 6 Cl-(aq)▪ 6 NaCl(aq) → 6 Na+(aq) + 6 Cl-(aq)Total Ionic Equation:6 Na+(aq) + 2 PO43-(aq) + 3 Ni2+(aq) + 6 Cl-(aq) → Ni3(PO4)2(s) + 6 Na+(aq) + 6 Cl-(aq)Spectator ions:▪ species present on both reactant and product side▪ they should have the same state, same phase, same charge▪ these species are not really participating in the reaction and they are “floating around” the solution6 Na+(aq) + 2 PO43-(aq) + 2 Ni2+(aq) + 6 Cl-(aq) → Ni3(PO4)2(s) + 6 Na+(aq) + 6 Cl-(aq)Net Ionic Equation:2 PO43-(aq) + 3 Ni2+(aq) → Ni3(PO4)2(s)Thus, the net ionic equation is:2 PO43-(aq) + 3 Ni2+(aq) → Ni3(PO4)2(s)
