represents a double displacement reaction. When zinc acetate, a clear liquid, and sodium phosphate, also a clear liquid, were combined in a test tube, they formed two different liquids. The reaction between the zinc acetate and the sodium phosphate happened almost immediately when combined together. One of the liquids was clear while the other was a milky white color. The clear liquid was sodium acetate and the white liquid is zinc phosphate, according to the MSDS. Two new substances, zinc phosphate and sodium acetate, were formed after the mixture of zinc acetate and sodium phosphate.
