Question

Balance the chemical equation Na3PO4(aq)+NiCl2(aq)—>Ni3(PO4)2(s)+NaCl(aq)

Answer 1

Answer: 2 Na3PO4 + 3 NiCl2  --->  Ni3(PO4)2 + 6 NaCl

Explanation: to balance this chemical equation inspect first Na and Ni in both the reacant and product side. Balance each elements by writing 2 on Na3PO4 so sodium will have 6 atoms on the reactant side. on the product write 6 on NaCl. Put 3 on NiCl2 to balance Nickel and Chlorine atoms. Na have 6 atoms in both reactant and product, P have 2 atoms both, O has 8, Ni has 3 atoms and Cl has 6 atoms in both sides. So the equation is now balanced.

Answer 2

Answer:

2Na3PO4 + 3NiCl2 --> Ni3(PO4)2 + 6NaCl

Explanation:

Balancing the Na3PO4 first then the NaCl and finally the NiCl2
