Question

what is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of SrCO3(s)?

Explanation / Answer

Molecular/Ionic Compound Equation: H3PO4+3NaOH----->Na3PO4+3H2O Full Ionic Equation (Charges written in parentheses): H3PO4+3Na(+) + 3OH(-) ------------>3Na(+) +PO4 (3-) +3H2O Net Ionic Equation: (H+) + (H3PO4-) + (3OH-) ----------->(PO4 3-) + 3H2O Notice that the sodium ions are eliminated to make the net ionic equation because they are present in both products and the reactants. Also notice that the charges on each side of the net ionic equation are equal, 3 hydroxide ions, each with a 1- charge on the left, and one phosphate ion with a 3- charge on the right.
