Answer:

2 PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3 Mg²⁺(aq) ⇒ Mg₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation that occurs when aqueous solutions of lithium phosphate and magnesium nitrate are mixed.

2 Li₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ 6 LiNO₃(aq) + Mg₃(PO₄)₂(s)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

6 Li⁺(aq) + 2 PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3 Mg²⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ 6 Li⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq) + Mg₃(PO₄)₂(s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and insoluble species.

2 PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3 Mg²⁺(aq) ⇒ Mg₃(PO₄)₂(s)
