An aqueous solution of calcium chloride is added to aqueous phosphoric acid, and a white precipitate forms. Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Phases are optional. Do not write an ionic equation (i.e., the answer should not show any charges).

Answer :

Answer: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is written below.

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of calcium chloride and phosphoric acid follows:

[tex]3CaCl_2(aq.)+2H_3PO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6HCl(aq.)[/tex]

A white precipitate of calcium phosphate is formed in the reaction.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is written above.
