Question

During lab, students mixed two solutions of soluble ions in a ceramic well to determine if a precipitate forms.

Write the dissolution reaction for the ionic solids below. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.)

(a) Ca(NO3)2

(b) Na3PO4
