Create a balanced reaction for the double displacement reaction between Sodium Phosphate Na₃(PO₄) and Copper Sulfate Cu(SO₄)

You will have to balance the ion ratios of the products as well as the over-all reaction for full points.

Here are some ion charges that may help you balance the products:

Ion charges: (Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺, SO₄²⁻, Al³⁺, Ag¹⁺, NO₃¹⁻, Cl¹⁻, OH¹⁻, PO₄³⁻, Na¹⁺)

Answer 1

2Na3(PO4)+ 3Cu(SO4) ➡️3Na2(SO4)+Cu3(PO4)2

Answer 2

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

In a double displacement reaction, the cations interchange between the two reactants.

Na₃PO₄ + CuSO₄ ⇒ Na₂SO₄ + Cu₃(PO₄)₂

Now, we need to balance the equation

Na₃PO₄ + CuSO₄ ⇒ Na₂SO₄ + Cu₃(PO₄)₂

3 Na 2

1 P 2

1 Cu 1

1 S 1

8 O 12

This reaction is unbalanced so we need to balance it.

2Na₃PO₄ + 3CuSO₄ ⇒ 3Na₂SO₄ + Cu₃(PO₄)₂
