Instructions: Write below the complete ionic equation for the reaction of magnesium phosphate with lead (II) nitrate

Question

Include which ions will be aqueous and which compound will precipitate.

Valences:

Mg=+2 Pb=+2

PO₄₌= -3 NO₃=-1

Answer 1

Mg₃(PO₄)₂(aq) + 3Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) ==> 3Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + Pb₃(PO₄)₂(s) ... molecular equation

3Mg²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄^3-(aq) + 3Pb²⁺(aq) + 6NO₃^-(aq) => 3Mg²⁺(aq) + 6NO₃^-(aq) + Pb₃(PO₄)2(s) ... complete ionic equation
