Question

Enter the compound formula, including state, of the missing substance ( Y ) in the balanced equation below. Do not give the coefficient. Polyatomic ions only need parentheses when there is more than one of the given ion in the molecular formula.
3CoCl2(aq) + 2Li3PO4(aq) → Y + 6LiCl(aq)

Answer 1

Co₃(PO₄)₂$_{s}$

Explanation:

Y in the formula is Co₃(PO₄)₂$_{s}$

This is a double displacement or double decomposition reaction peculiar to most ionic compounds.

In this reaction,

• there is usually the formation of an insoluble compound or precipitate
• formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
• liberation of a gaseous product.

Typically, all tetroxophosphate (V) salts are insoluble  in nature and forms precipitate.
