Write a balanced, net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction of CaCl2 and Cs3PO4 in an aqueous solution. Remember to include the proper physical states and charges of ions. When writing ions, if a charge number is not "1", place the charge number before the charge sign. If a charge sign is "1", do not include the charge number in the formula.
Answer-
When CaCl2 react with Cs3PO4 in an aqueous solution it forms precipitate of calcium phosphate and cesium chloride which is soluble in aqueous solution such reactions are called precipitation reaction.
Consider the following chemical reaction
illustarted above-
3 CaCl2 (aq) + 2 Cs3PO4 (aq)
-----> Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + 6
CsCl (aq)
Net Ionic Equation for precipitation
reaction-
3 Ca2+ (aq) + 2 PO43- (aq)
-----> Ca3(PO4)2 (s)
Note- for better understanding
Complete Ionic Eqn
3 Ca2+ (aq) + 6 Cl- (aq) + 6
Cs+ (aq) + 2 PO43- (aq) ----->
Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + 6Cs+
(aq) + 6 Cl- (aq)
