The answer to this question would be:5 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the chemical equation of mg3(po4)2 when forming an ion. The equation should be: mg3(po4)2= 3Mg(2+)  +2PO4(3-)

That means for 1 mol of 
mg3(po4)2 there will be 3 magnesium(cation) ion and 2 phosphates(anion) ion, the result would be 5 mol of ion.
