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
