What is the equation of the dissolution when sodium phosphate is added to water?

There is not exactly an equation of dissolution. Sodium phosphates are ionic salts, and as such, in aqueous solution consist almost entirely of independent ions. In the case of phosphates, the anion (phosphate) exists in several forms, with an equilibrium depending on the pH of the solution. See the article on phosphate for a discussion of this effect.
