Aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium phosphate are mixed together, forming solid silver phosphate and aqueous sodium nitrate. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. Phases are optional.

3AgNO₃ (aq) + Na₃PO₄(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s) ↓ + 3NaNO₃(aq)

Explanation:

The reaction is:

3AgNO₃ (aq) + Na₃PO₄(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s) ↓ + 3NaNO₃(aq)

3 moles of silver nitrate and 1 mol of sodium phosphate, react in order to produce 1 mol of solid silver phosphate 3 moles of sodium nitrate

3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s) ↓

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

the answer is na (sodium)
