AlPO4(s)<=>Al^3+(aq)+PO4^3-(aq)
PO4^3-(aq)+H3O^+(aq)<=>HPO4^2-(aq)+H2O(l)

What is the net ionic equation for AlPO4(s) dissolving in H3O^+(aq)?


Answered by DrBob222
Just add the two equations and cancel anything common to both sides of the sum.

i tried dat..n got:
AlPO4(s)+H3O^+(aq)<=>Al^3+(aq)+HPO4^2-(aq)

buh for sum reason its not accepting the answer

Did you throw away the water on the right side? You don't have H2O on the left; therefore, H2O on the right can't be canceled. That could be why your answer isn't accepted.
