Question

write the steps involved in writing the chemical formula of calcium phosphate

Answer 1

Given that,

Write the steps involved in writing the chemical formula of calcium phosphate

We know that,

Calcium :

Chemical formula of calcium = Ca

Valence of calcium = 2

Phosphate :

Chemical formula of phosphate = PO₄

Valence of phosphate = 3

We need to write the chemical formula of calcium phosphate

Using interching valency formula

$calcium\ phosphate=Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}$

Hence, The chemical formula of calcium phosphate is $Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}$

Answer 2

Ca(OH), + HCL CaCl2 + H2O
