Problem

A partially written net ionic equation shown below is missing several coefficients and ionic charges. __ PO43−(aq)PO_{4}^{3-}(\text{aq}) + __ Al3+(aq)Al^{3+}(\text{aq}) →\to __ AlPO4(s)AlPO_{4}(\text{s}) Provide a fully balanced net ionic equation in acidic solution. (1) Part 1: (a) Determine the smallest whole–number coefficients that conserve atoms for each element. (2) Part 2: (b) Confirm that total electric charge is the same on both sides of the equation after the coefficients from part (a) are applied. (3) Part 3: (c) State the final balanced net ionic equation, including physical states.
