Question

Predict the products of the reaction between CuSO4 and Na3PO4, then balance the equation. Do not include states in the equation. If there is no expected reaction, write NR.

Answer 1

The products of the reaction between CUSO4 and Na3PO4 is

Na2SO4 and Cu3(PO4)2

Step-by-step explanation

• CUSO4 react with Na3PO4 to form Na2SO4 and CU3(PO4) according to the balance equation below.

3 CUSO4 + 2Na3PO4 → 3Na2SO4 +CU3(PO4)2

• from the equation above 3 moles of CuSO4 react with 2 moles of Na3PO4 to form 3 moles of Na2SO4 and 1 mole of Cu3(PO4)2
