Answer: D. 3Ag+ + PO43- = Ag3PO4
Explanation:
Overall Chemical Equation:
Ensure that the elements on both sides of the equation are balanced.
3C2H3AgO2 + Na3O4P = Ag3PO4 + 3C2H3NaO2
Solubility Equation:
Determine the state or phase of each substance (gas=g, liquid=l, solid/non-soluble=s, aqueous/soluble=aq) in its undissociated form.
3C2H3AgO2(aq) + Na3O4P(aq) = Ag3PO4(s) + 3C2H3NaO2(aq)
Complete Ionic Equation:
The complete ionic equation includes spectator ions. Write it by breaking all the soluble ionic compounds into their respective ions.
3Ag+(aq) + 3CH3COO-(aq) + 3Na+(aq) + PO43-(aq) = Ag3PO4(s) + 3Na+(aq) + 3CH3COO-(aq)
Net Ionic Equation:
The balanced net ionic equation includes only species that are involved in the reaction. It can be found by removing ions that occur on both the reactant and product side of the complete ionic equation.
3Ag+(aq) + PO43-(aq) = Ag3PO4(s)
