“Calcium phosphate first binds with dissolved lead in water toform lead phosphate and free calcium. The calcium, which isharmless, ends up in the water, and the lead phosphate stays in thefilter,”
Please read the assignment linked above. I have highlighted asection in the paper that loosely describes the chemistry that isgoing on.
Write a balanced chemical reaction, including the physicalstates of all reactants and products for this reaction. Hint: thelead in the water can be written asPb2+(aq) and the calcium can be writtenas Ca2+(aq).
