Answer:

3CaCl₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6NaCl.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.

  • The reaction between CaCl₂ and Na₃PO₄ is:

3CaCl₂ + 2Na₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6NaCl.

Ca replaces Na in (Na₃PO₄ ) and forming Ca₃(PO₄)₂.

Na replaces Ca in CaCl₂ and forming NaCl.

So, the products of this reaction are Ca₃(PO₄)₂ and NaCl.
