Explanation / Answer

2K3PO4 (aq)+ 3Mg(NO3)2 (aq) -> 6KNO3(aq) + Mg3(PO4)2(s) To write an ionic equation you just break it all upand add charges and phases so it would be: 6K+(aq) + 2PO4 -3(aq) +3Mg+2(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)-> 6K+(aq) +2NO3-(aq) + Mg3(PO4)2(s) You don't add the charges or break off the magnesium phosphatebecause it's a solid. Next, to make a net ionic equation, you wouldtake away all the ones that appear on both sides, so you'd takeaway the 6 potassium and 2 nitrates, which would leave youwith 2PO4-3(aq) + 3Mg+2(aq) ->Mg3(PO4)2(s)
