Best Answer

The reaction between calcium phosphate and sulfuric acid, producing calcium sulfate and phosphoric acid is a double replacement. Notice in the chemical equation that the calcium and hydrogen ions switch partners with the SO42- and PO43- ions.

The generic formula for a double replacement is AB + CD --> AD + CB

Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 --> 3CaSO4 + 2H3PO4

What does indusrial byproduct mean?

Industrial By-products refers to the additional waste or other substances that are made when manufacturing a certain item industrially. These byproducts may or may not be useful due to their properties or their constituent compounds/elements for other purposes. For example calcium sulphate otherwise known as plaster of Paris is obtained as a by-product in a variety of reactions such as during production of phosphoric acid from phosphate rock, calcium phosphate is treated with sulfuric acid and calcium sulfate precipitates.


What salts will be made from phosphoric acid?

Examples: calcium phosphate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, uranyl phosphate.

Why is the reaction of calcium hydroxide and sulfuric acid different from sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid?

The reactions of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide with sulfuric acid will produce sodium sulfate and calcium sulfate respectively (water will be another product in both reactions. Sodium sulfate is soluble in water and so will remain in solution. Calcium sulfate, however, is insoluble and will precipitate as a solid.
