Question

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ammonium

phosphate solution and a solution of aluminum nitrite if one of the products,
ammonium nitrite, is insoluble in water. Be sure to include phase symbols.​

Answer 1

(NH₄)₃PO₄ (l) + Al(NO₃)₃(l) -----------→ AlPO₄(l) + 3NH₄NO₃(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data Give:

Reaction between ammonium phosphate solution and solution of aluminum nitrate

• Write a balanced chemical equation

• include phase symbols

Details:

To write a balanced chemical equation we have to know formula units of compounds or molecules

Formula units

ammonium phosphate : (NH₄)₃PO₄

aluminum nitrate: Al(NO₃)₃

ammonium nitrate: NH₄NO₃

Now to write a chemical equation

• we have to write the chemical formulas or formula unit of each compound
• write the reactant on left side of the arrow
• write the product on the right side of the arrow
• put a plus sign in 2 reactants and products on each side of the arrow
• balance the equation by putting coefficient with compound formula
• write the phase symbols on the right corner of the compound formula in brackets

So the Reaction will be

(NH₄)₃PO₄ + Al(NO₃)₃ -----------→ AlPO₄ + NH₄NO₃

Now balance the Chemical equation

(NH₄)₃PO₄ + Al(NO₃)₃ -----------→ AlPO₄ + 3NH₄NO₃

Now write the phase Symbols

(NH₄)₃PO₄ (l) + Al(NO₃)₃(l) -----------→ AlPO₄(l) + 3NH₄NO₃(l)

all compounds in the reaction are in liquid form and soluble in water

*** Note:

There is no aluminum nitrite in chemicals formulas

Also ammonium nitrite can not be used in pure isolated form due to its highly instability
