Question

Another metal phosphate is iron(III) phosphate. It will behave similar to calcium phosphate in an acid solution, and will form an equilibrium between reactants and products.

What is the net ionic equation including phases for FePO4(s) dissolving in H3O (aq)?

Answer 1

Fe^3+(aq) + 3OH^-(aq). -----------> Fe(OH)3(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Fe^3+(aq) + 3OH^-(aq). -----------> Fe(OH)3(s)

When iron III phosphate reacts with acid ,(H3O^+), iron III hydroxide is formed and precipitates out of solution as a solid. The ionic equation for this reaction is shown above. The acid exists in form of the oxonium ion (H3O^+).
