Another metal phosphate is aluminum phosphate. It will behave similar to calcium phosphate in an acid solution. What is the net ionic equation including phases for AlPO4 (s) dissolving in H3O + (aq) ?

Given:

Aluminum Phosphate (AlPO4 (s))

When dissolved in water, it becomes:

Balanced Chemical Equation:

AlPO4 (s) + 3H2O (l) = = = > H3PO4 (aq) + Al (OH) 3 (aq)

AlPO4 + 3 H + = = = > Al 3 + (aq) + PO4 3 - (aq)
