Question

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that is represented by the following total ionic equation? 6Na+ + 2Ca^2+ + 6CI- → 6Na+ + 6CI- + Ca3(PO4)2

Answer 1

`\boxed{\rm 3Ca^(2+) + 2PO_(4)^(3-) \longrightarrow Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\textbf{Ionic equation}\\\rm \textbf{6Na}^(+) + 3Ca^(2+) + \textbf{6Cl}^(-) + 2PO_(4)^(3-) \longrightarrow \textbf{6Na}^(+) + \textbf{6Cl}^(-) + Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)`

Net ionic equation

Cancel all ions that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow (in boldface).

`\boxed{\rm 3Ca^(2+) + 2PO_(4)^(3-) \longrightarrow Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)}`
