first write an ionic equation (i.e. not net) we need to represent all the compounds as their respective (polyatomic) ions. first i'll break them apart to show you what they individually look like: \(\sf H_3PO_4\rightarrow 3H^+ +PO_4^{3-}\) \(\sf Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2OH^-\) The ionic equation looks like: \(\sf 3H^+ +PO_4^{3-}+Ca^{2+}+2OH^-\rightarrow products\) i'll let you work on the products. Note that you still need to remove the \(\sf \color{red} {spectator} \) ions - those ions that appear on both sides of the equation unchanged.
