Hmmm. Aluminum phosphate tribasic DISSOLVED? This is firebrick, insoluble in water, very slighty soluble in HCl or HNO3. I am wondering if this is a trick question.

So the question is, I suppose, what is the net ionic question if the firebrick is dissolved in an acid.
IF it is, then Al(PO4)>>Al+3 + PO4-3
Aluminum hydroxide is soluble in acidic solutions as ions, so there is no precipate.

My feeling is this is some trick question.
