Question

Write the equation for the reaction of iron (iii) phosphate with sodium sulfate to make iron (iii) sulfate and sodium phosphate

Answer 1

Balanced equation:
2 FePO4 + 3 Na2SO4 = Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 Na3PO4

Answer 2

Answer:

$2FePO_{4}+3Na_{2}SO_{4}$ → $Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} }+2Na_{3}PO _{4}$

Explanation:

The reaction of iron(iii) phosphate with sodium sulfate is an example of double displacement.

In a double displacement reaction, two compounds react by exchanging ions to give out two different compounds as follows-

$AB+CD$ → $AC +CD$

$2FePO_{4}+3Na_{2}SO_{4}$ → $Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} }+2Na_{3}PO _{4}$
