States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
Could I have some help with determining the ionic equation of these two formulas?
![**Chemical Reaction:**
In this double replacement reaction, sodium phosphate and iron(III) chloride react in aqueous solutions to form iron(III) phosphate as a solid precipitate and sodium chloride in aqueous form.
**Chemical Equation:**
\[ \text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4\,(aq) + \text{FeCl}_3\,(aq) \rightarrow \text{FePO}_4\,(s) + \text{NaCl}\,(aq) \]
**Explanation:**
- **Reactants:**
- Sodium Phosphate \((\text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4)\) is in aqueous form.
- Iron(III) Chloride \((\text{FeCl}_3)\) is also in aqueous form.
- **Products:**
- Iron(III) Phosphate \((\text{FePO}_4)\) forms as a solid, indicating it precipitates out of the solution.
- Sodium Chloride \((\text{NaCl})\) remains in aqueous solution.
This reaction demonstrates the principles of solubility and precipitation in chemistry.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd10383e5-2ced-40ed-a097-c05bf26dd520%2F14b7189a-eb20-4a1f-aa2b-7f0e7eefbdd5%2Fl52nxq2_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
