1. Write the formulas for the reactants and products:
* Iron(III) phosphate: FePO₄
* Sodium sulfate: Na₂SO₄
* Iron(III) sulfate: Fe₂(SO₄)₃
* Sodium phosphate: Na₃PO₄
2. Balance the equation:
FePO₄ + Na₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + Na₃PO₄
To balance the equation, we need:
* 2 FePO₄
* 3 Na₂SO₄
* 1 Fe₂(SO₄)₃
* 2 Na₃PO₄
3. The balanced chemical equation is:
2 FePO₄ + 3 Na₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 Na₃PO₄
