Could someone write out the total ionic equation and the net ionic equation for:
2Na3PO4 (aq) + 3CuSO4 • 5H2O (aq) → Cu3 (PO4)2 (s) + 3Na3SO4 (aq) + 15H2O (l)

I know how to write net ionic equations for normal equations, but this has a hydrate attached to one of the compounds, and I don't know how to deal with it.

When the hydrate dissolves in water the waters of hydration become part of the solution so they are "spectators" - cancel them.

Answer Key to Practice Problems on Net Ionic Equations:
1. Molecular: AgNO3 (aq) + KCl (aq) ® AgCl (s) + KNO3 (aq)
Total Ionic: Ag+ (aq) + NO3¯ (aq) + K+ (aq) + Cl¯ (aq) ® AgCl (s) + K+ (aq)
+ NO3¯ (aq)
Net Ionic: Ag+ (aq) + Cl¯ (aq) ® AgCl (s)
2. Molecular: Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) ® MgCO3 (s) + 2 NaNO3 (aq)
Total Ionic: Mg2+ (aq) + 2 NO3¯ (aq) + 2 Na+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) ® MgCO3 (s) + 2 Na+ (aq)
+ 2 NO3¯ (aq)
Net Ionic: Mg2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) ® MgCO3 (s)
