Question

Consider the reaction: 3Co²⁺(aq) + 6NO₃^-(aq) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 2PO₄^3-(aq) $\to$Co₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 6NO₃^-(aq) Identify the net ionic equation for this reaction.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net ionic equation includes only the species that undergo a chemical change. In this reaction, Co²⁺ and PO₄^3- ions combine to form the solid Co₃(PO₄)₂, while Na⁺ and NO₃^- are spectator ions and do not participate in the reaction.
