1.)
a.)
NiCl2(aq) + Na3PO4(aq) ------ Ni3(PO4)2 (s) + NaCl(aq)
On right hand side, Ni has three atoms, therefore first of all balance it.
3NiCl2(aq) + Na3PO4(aq) ------ Ni3(PO4)2 (s) + NaCl(aq)
On right hand side PO4 has 2 moles, therefore balance it now.
3.NiCl2(aq) + 2.Na3PO4(aq) ------ Ni3(PO4)2 (s) + NaCl(aq)
On left hand side Na and Cl both have six atoms, balance them.
3.NiCl2(aq) + 2.Na3PO4(aq) ------ Ni3(PO4)2 (s) + 6.NaCl(aq)

b.)
Because,
1 mole of nickel phosphate (Ni3(PO4)2) is obtained from 3 mole of nickel chloride (NiCl2)
Threfore, 0.479 mol of nickel(11) phosphate will be obtained from
= 3*0.479 = 1.437 mol of NiCl2

c.)
Because, 6 moles of NaCl are obtained from 3 moles of NiCl2
Therefore, 0.45 moles of NaCl is obtained from = 0.45/2 = 0.225 mole

d.)
Because, molecular wt of sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) = 23*3 + 31 + 16*4
= 164
molecular wt. of sodium chloride(NaCl) = 23+35.5 = 58.5
Because, 2 moles of sodium phosphate gives 6 moles of ...
