Question
Write a balanced net ionic equation to show why the solubility of AIPO4 (s) increases in the presence of a strong acid and
calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction of this sparingly soluble salt with acid.
Consider only the FIRST STEP in the reaction with strong acid. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s).
AIPO (s) + 3H₂O*(aq)
K=
Al³+ (aq)
+ H₂PO (aq) + 3H₂O(1)
