Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction

To write the net ionic equation for the chemical reaction, we first need to write the balanced molecular equation and then the balanced ionic equation. Then we can identify the spectator ions and eliminate them to obtain the net ionic equation.

The balanced molecular equation is:

3 MgCl2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq)  Mg3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaCl(aq)
