Complete the following equations : H3PO4 = 3H+ --------------- CaSO4 = Ca 2+ ---------------- (2) b) Write the formulae of the salt formed by the reaction between HCl and Ca(OH)2.

Sagot :

Answer:

H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻

CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

b. CaCl₂

Explanation:

When H₃PO₄ is dissolved in water, there are produced the H⁺ and PO₄³⁻ ions. The equation is:

H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻

In the same way, CaSO₄ is dissolved in:

CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

b. Now, in a reaction of an acid (HCl) and a base (Ca(OH)₂), water, H₂O and a salt are produced:

2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + Salt

The ions that are not present in the reaction are Cl⁻ and Ca²⁺, the salt is CaCl₂ and the balanced reaction is:

2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + CaCl₂
