This equation describes the reaction between zinc (Zn) and calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) to produce zinc phosphate (Zn3(PO4)2) and calcium (Ca).
- Reaction conditions
The specific conditions for this reaction may vary based on factors such as laboratory conditions and catalysts. However, in general, to perform this reaction, you will need a heat source to initiate the reaction.
- Reaction process
The reaction begins with zinc acting on calcium phosphate. The heat will cause the molecules of these two substances to quickly move and collide with each other, leading to the breaking of existing bonds and the creation of new ones, producing zinc phosphate and calcium.
- Occurred phenomena
In this chemical reaction, you will notice the change of substance from its initial state to a new state. Zinc and calcium phosphate will disappear, while zinc phosphate and calcium will appear. You may also notice changes in color, physical form of the substance or heat release.
