Answer #1

The molecular equation is

AlCl3(aq) + (NH4)3PO4 (aq) -----------> AlPO4(s) + 3NH4Cl(aq)

total ionic equation is

Al+3(aq) + 3Cl-(aq) + 3NH4+(aq) + PO4-3(aq) -----------> AlPO4(s) + 3NH4+(aq) +3 Cl-(aq)

the net ionic equation is obtained by removing the spectator ions(common on both sides)

thus the net ionic equation is

Al+3(aq) + PO4-3(aq) ------------> AlPO4(s)
