Use a table of soluble and insoluble ionic compounds to predict the precipitate that will form in the reaction of Na3(PO4) + CsBr<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.Only NaBr will precipitate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Only Cs3(PO4) will precipitate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.Both NaBr and Cs3(PO4) will precipitate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.There will be no precipitate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To determine whether a precipitate will form when Na\u2083PO\u2084 reacts with CsBr, we need to analyze the solubility of the potential products. This reaction involves the exchange of ions between sodium phosphate (Na\u2083PO\u2084) and cesium bromide (CsBr).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reaction can be written as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[
\\text{Na}_3\\text{PO}_4 (aq) + \\text{CsBr} (aq) \\rightarrow \\text{NaBr} (aq) + \\text{Cs}_3\\text{PO}_4 (s)
]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Identifying Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The two potential products in this reaction are sodium bromide (NaBr) and cesium phosphate (Cs\u2083PO\u2084).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sodium bromide (NaBr)<\/strong>: Sodium (Na\u207a) and bromide (Br\u207b) are both ions that typically form soluble compounds. According to solubility rules, most salts of alkali metals (like Na\u207a) are soluble in water, and bromides (Br\u207b) are also typically soluble, with a few exceptions (e.g., silver bromide, AgBr). Since sodium and bromide are both from groups that form soluble compounds, NaBr is soluble in water and will not form a precipitate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cesium phosphate (Cs\u2083PO\u2084)<\/strong>: Cesium (Cs\u207a) is an alkali metal, and phosphate (PO\u2084\u00b3\u207b) compounds are generally insoluble, with exceptions primarily for alkali metal phosphates. However, cesium phosphate (Cs\u2083PO\u2084) is one of the few phosphate compounds that is soluble because cesium is an alkali metal, and alkali metal phosphates are generally soluble. Thus, Cs\u2083PO\u2084 will dissolve in water and will not form a precipitate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Since both NaBr and Cs\u2083PO\u2084 are soluble in water, no precipitate will form<\/strong> in this reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, the correct answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. There will be no precipitate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This conclusion aligns with the solubility rules for ionic compounds: alkali metal halides (like NaBr) are soluble, and alkali metal phosphates (like Cs\u2083PO\u2084) are also soluble. Therefore, no insoluble products are produced in this reaction, and the solution remains clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
