Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation of silver(I) phosphate from aqueous solution:

Answer 1

The net ionic equation for the formation of a precipitate is simply the ions that make up that precipitate as aqueous and the precipitate as a solid, as follows:

Silver phosphate = Ag₃PO₄(s)

Net ionic equation: 3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄^3-(aq) ==> Ag₃PO₄(s)
