By considering the valency of sulfate over phosphate, sulfate can be distinguished from phosphate. Sulfate has a valency of 2 where phosphate has 3.

Is phosphate a sulfate?

No. Phosphates and sulfates are two different things. Phosphate, PO4^3- is an oxyanion of phosphorus while sulfate SO4^2- is an oxyanion of sulfur.

What is the product names and states for sodium phosphate and copper 2 sulfate?

The product of sodium phosphate is sodium hydrogen phosphate, and the product of copper 2 sulfate is copper(II) hydroxide. Sodium phosphate is commonly found in states such as powder or crystals, while copper(II) sulfate is typically found as a blue crystalline solid.

What is the Balanced equation for copper sulfate and potassium phosphate?

The balanced equation for copper sulfate (CuSO4) and potassium phosphate (K3PO4) reacting is: 3CuSO4 + 2K3PO4 -> Cu3(PO4)2 + 3K2SO4


Why do phosphate ions elute before sulfate ions in ion chromatography?

They can actually elute in either order. It depends on your mobile phase. In a weakly basic solution, the phosphate ions are found more as HPO4 (2-) rather than PO4 (3-) and thus will elute before sulfate which is larger and has the same charge. In a strongly basic mobile phase, the PO4 (3-) ion will dominate, and will elute after the sulfate ion


What is the net ionic equations of copper II sulfate sodium phosphate?

The net ionic equation for the reaction between copper (II) sulfate (CuSO4) and sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) is: Cu^2+ + PO4^3- -> Cu3(PO4)2 This equation represents the formation of copper (II) phosphate precipitate when copper (II) sulfate reacts with sodium phosphate.

What happens when sodium phosphate is mixed with Copper sulfate?

This will give a precipitate (s) of the insoluble copper phosphate2Na3PO4 + 3CuSO4 --> Cu3(PO4)2(s) + 3Na2SO4or (better without the soluble and not reacting ions (tribuned ions):2PO43- + 3SO42- --> Cu3(PO4)2(s)
