question 14

Multiple Choice

What is the balanced net ionic equation for the result when the following two aqueous solutions are mixed?
CaCl₂ (aq) and Cs₃PO₄ (aq)

• A) Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2 Cl ^- (aq)→ CaCl₂ (s)
• B) Ca²⁺ (aq) + PO₄^{3 -} (aq)→ CaPO₄ (s)
• C) Cs⁺ (aq) + Cl ^- (aq)→ CsCl (s)
• D) 2 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 3 PO₄^{3 -} (aq)→ Ca₂(PO₄)₃ (s)
• E) 3 Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2 PO₄^{3 -} (aq)→ Ca₃(PO₄)₂ (s)
