Problem
A student mixes 50.0 mL of 0.10 M potassium phosphate solution with 50.0 mL of 0.10 M calcium nitrate solution at 25 °C. Assume volumes are additive and that no other reactions occur.
(a) Write the balanced molecular equation, including physical states, for any reaction that occurs after mixing.
(b) Write the complete ionic equation for the reaction in part (a).
(c) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction in part (a).
(d) Using accepted solubility rules, explain whether the observed product in part (a) should appear as a precipitate. Your explanation should reference specific ions and rules.
