Question

Cu3PO4 + HCl =

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The chemical equation you provided is:

Cu3PO4 + HCl

To determine the products of this reaction, you need to understand the rules of chemical reactions. In this case, Cu3PO4 is a compound made up of copper (Cu) and phosphate (PO4), while HCl is hydrochloric acid.

The reaction involves a double displacement or metathesis reaction, where the ions in the reactants swap partners to form new compounds. In this case, the copper (Cu) will react with the chloride ion (Cl-) from HCl, while the phosphate ion (PO4^3-) will react with the hydrogen ion (H+).

Based on the rules of double displacement reactions, the products of this reaction would be copper chloride (CuCl2) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4). The balanced equation is:

Cu3PO4 + 6 HCl -> 2 CuCl2 + H3PO4

To get this answer, you need to identify the ions in the reactants and determine which ions will form new compounds by swapping partners. You should also be familiar with the charges of the ions to correctly balance the equation.
