based upon the equation of cobalt nitrate and sodium phosphate which ions might be dissolved in filtrate. Also how would I draw a picture that represents the reaction @ the molecular/ionic solution of cob. nitrate & sodium phosphate before solution was filtered?

In the filtrate are the Na+ and the NO3- ions.
Cobalt nitrate is ionic, just not soluble, so the ions do nor dissociate. It stays in crystal form, +'s attracting -'s. Draw a beaker with a water line, the Na+ and the NO3- are floating around. The cobalt nitrate is sitting at the bottom as a compound.

3Co(NO3)2 + 2Na3PO4 ===> Co3(PO4)2 + 6NaNO3
Certainly Na+ and NO3- would be dissolved in the filtrate. If the reaction were not perfectly carried out, there might be a trace amount of Co++ or PO4---- in the filtrate also.
