Question
**Chemical Reaction Balancing Practice**

1. **Problem Statement:** Write and then balance the following chemical reaction. Ensure you include all states of matter in your equation: aqueous aluminum sulfate is combined with aqueous sodium phosphate to produce aluminum phosphate and sodium sulfate.

   **Instructions:**
   - Identify the chemical formulas of reactants and products.
   - Balance the equation by adjusting coefficients.
   - State the physical states of all compounds involved (aqueous, solid, etc.).

   **Chemical Equation:**
   - Reactants: Aluminum sulfate \((\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3)_{(aq)}\) and Sodium phosphate \((\text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4)_{(aq)}\)
   - Products: Aluminum phosphate \((\text{AlPO}_4)_{(s)}\) and Sodium sulfate \((\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4)_{(aq)}\)

   **Balanced Equation:**
   - \(2 \text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3_{(aq)} + 3 \text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4_{(aq)} \rightarrow 2 \text{AlPO}_4_{(s)} + 3 \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4_{(aq)}\)

   **Explanation and Steps:**
   - Identify reactants and products and write their formulas.
   - Adjust coefficients to ensure the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation.
   - Include the physical states: aqueous (aq) for substances dissolved in water and solid (s) for precipitates formed.
