Consider the reaction: 3Co2+(aq) + 6NO3¯(aq) + 6Na+(aq) + 2PO43¯(aq) â Co3(PO4)2(s) + 6Na+(aq) + 6NO3¯(aq) Identify the net ionic equation for this reaction. A. 3CO2(aq) + 6NO3(aq) + 6Na+(aq) + 2PO43-(aq) â Co3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaNO3(aq). B. Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) â NaNO3(aq).C. 3CO2(aq) + NO3(aq) + Na*(aq) + 2PO43-(aq) â Co3(PO4)2(s) + NaNO3(aq).D. 3C02(aq) + 2PO43-(ag) â CO3(PO4)2(s).E. None of these choices are correct.

D. 3 Co²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ Co₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and the insoluble species. Let's consider the following complete ionic equation.

3 Co²⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq) + 6 Na⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ Co₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 Na⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and the insoluble species. The corresponding net ionic equation is:

3 Co²⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) ⇒ Co₃(PO₄)₂(s)

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
