Barium hydroxide solution is added to phosphoric acid solution. After all acid–base steps and precipitate formation are complete, which equation best represents the overall net ionic reaction? a) 3Ba2+(aq)+2PO43−(aq)→Ba3(PO4)2(s)3Ba^{2+}(aq) + 2PO_4^{3-}(aq) \rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(s) b) 3Ba2+(aq)+2HPO42−(aq)→Ba3(PO4)2(s)+2H+(aq)3Ba^{2+}(aq) + 2HPO_4^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(s) + 2H^{+}(aq) c) 3Ba(OH)2(aq)+2H3PO4(aq)→Ba3(PO4)2(s)+6H2O(l)3Ba(OH)_2(aq) + 2H_3PO_4(aq) \rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(s) + 6H_2O(l) d) 2Ba2+(aq)+3PO43−(aq)→Ba2(PO4)3(s)2Ba^{2+}(aq) + 3PO_4^{3-}(aq) \rightarrow Ba_2(PO_4)_3(s)
