Question 30

Multiple Choice

Which equation shown below represents the total ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous solutions of (NH₄) ₃PO₄ and CaCl₂?

A) 6 NH₃ (g) + 6 H⁺ (aq) + 2 PO₄^{3 -} (aq) + 3 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 3 Cl₂^{2 -} (aq) → 3 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2 PO₄^{3 -} (aq) + 3 (NH₄) ₂Cl₂ (s)
B) 6 N^{3 -} (aq) + 24 H⁺ (aq) + 2 P^{3 -} (aq) + 8 O^{2 -} (aq) + 3 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 6 Cl^- (aq) → Ca₃(PO₄) ₂ (s) + 6 N^{3 -} (aq) + 24 H⁺ (aq) + 6 Cl^- (aq)
C) 3 NH₄⁺ (aq) + PO₄^{3 -} (aq) + Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2 Cl^- (aq) → CaPO₄ (s) + 3 NH₄⁺ (aq) + 2 Cl^- (aq)
D) 6 NH₄⁺ (aq) + 2 PO₄^{3 -} (aq) + 3 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 6 Cl^- (aq) → 3 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2 PO₄^{3 -} (aq) + 6 NH₄Cl (s)
E) 6 NH₄⁺ (aq) + 2 PO₄^{3 -} (aq) + 3 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 6 Cl^- (aq) → Ca₃(PO₄) ₂ (s) + 6 NH₄⁺ (aq) + 6 Cl^- (aq)
