Question
Na3PO4 + CaCl2 --> Ca3(PO4)2 + NaCl
After balancing, what is the sum of the coefficients?
Solution
To balance the chemical equation, we first need to ensure that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
The balanced equation is:
2Na3PO4 + 3CaCl2 --> Ca3(PO4)2 + 6NaCl
Now, we add up the coefficients:
2 (for Na3PO4) + 3 (for CaCl2) + 1 (for Ca3(PO4)2, since no coefficient is written, it is understood to be 1) + 6 (for NaCl) = 12
So, the sum of the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation is 12.
