Answer to Question #171501 in General Chemistry for hannah

Question

Given the balanced molecular equation:

3 Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq)  +  2 K₃PO₄ (aq)   --> Ca₃(PO₄)₂ (s)  +  6 KNO₃ (aq)

a)    Write the total ionic equation.  

b)Write the net ionic equation

Answer 1

a) 3Ca²⁺(aq) + 6NO₃^-(aq) + 6K⁺(aq) + 2PO₄^3-(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6K⁺(aq) + 6NO₃^-(aq)

b) 3Ca²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄^3-(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s)
