Answer:

General equation for a double-displacement reaction:  

AB + CD --> AC + BD

• sodium chloride – NaCl copper sulfate – CuSO₄  

NaCl + CuSO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + CuCl₂

The products formed are sodium sulfate and copper (II) chloride.

Copper (II) chloride forms a blue colored solution.

• sodium hydroxide – NaOH copper sulfate – CuSO₄  

NaOH + CuSO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + Cu(OH)₂

The products formed are sodium sulfate and copper (II) hydroxide.

Copper (II) hydroxide forms a blue colored solution.

• sodium phosphate – Na₂HPO₂ copper sulfate – CuSO₄  

Na₂HPO₄ + CuSO₄ --> Na₂SO₄ + CuHPO₄

The products formed are sodium sulfate and copper (II) hydrogen phosphate.

Copper (II) hydrogen phosphate forms a blue colored solution.

• sodium chloride – NaCl silver nitrate – AgNO₃  

NaCl + AgNO₃--> AgCl + NaNO₃

The products formed are silver chloride and sodium nitrate.

Silver chloride forms a white precipitate.

• sodium hydroxide – NaOH silver nitrate – AgNO₃  

NaOH + AgNO₃   --> NaNO₃ + AgOH

The products formed are silver hydroxide and sodium nitrate.

Silver hydroxide forms a white precipitate.

• sodium phosphate – Na₂HPO₄ silver nitrate – AgNO₃

Na₂HPO₄ + AgNO₃  --> NaNO₃ +  Ag₂HPO₄

The products formed are sodium nitrate and silver hydrogen phosphate.

Silver hydrogen phosphate forms a colorless solution.

Explanation:

The two possible products in the precipitation reaction of copper (II) chloride and sodium phosphate are copper(II) phosphate and sodium chloride.

The empirical formula of the copper phosphate =[tex]Cu_3P_2O_8[/tex]

The empirical formula of the sodium chloride = [tex]NaCl[/tex]

Explanation:

  • The reaction taking place between copper(II) chloride and sodium phosphate is a double displace reaction and precipitation reaction.
  • Double displacement is a type of chemical reaction in which ions of two compounds are exchanged to give new products.
  • The precipitation reaction is a reaction in which a solid insoluble product is formed by the reaction of two different aqueous solutions of salt.
  • When solutions of copper(II) chloride and sodium phosphate are allowed to react they give a solid precipitate of copper(II) phosphate and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride.

[tex]3CuCl_2(aq)+2Na_3PO_4(aq)\rightarrow Cu_3(PO_4)_2(s)+ 6NaCl(aq)[/tex]

  • The empirical formula is the simple whole-number ratio of atoms of the different elements present in the molecule of the compound.

Charge on the copper(II) ion = +2

Charge on the phosphate ion = -3

  • The molecular formula of the copper phosphate = [tex]Cu_3(PO_4)_2[/tex]

The ratio of a number of copper, phosphorus, and oxygen atoms:

[tex]Cu:P:O=3:2:8= 3:2:8[/tex]

The empirical formula of the copper phosphate =[tex]Cu_3P_2O_8[/tex]

Charge on the sodium ion = +1

Charge on the chloride ion = -1

  • The molecular formula of the sodium chloride =[tex]NaCl[/tex]

The ratio of a number of sodium and chlorine atoms:

[tex]Na:Cl=1:1=1:1[/tex]

The empirical formula of the sodium chloride = [tex]NaCl[/tex]

The two possible products in the precipitation reaction of copper (II) chloride and sodium phosphate are copper(II) phosphate and sodium chloride.
