Question

Nai(aq)+hg2(no3)2(aq)→ express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. enter noreaction if no precipitate is formed.

Answer 1

Balanced chemial equation:

2NaI(aq)+Hg2(NO3)2(aq) →Hg2 I2 (s) + 2 NaNO3 (aq)

You can see it better if I use latex:

$2NaI(aq)+Hg_2(NO_3)_2(aq) =Hg_2 I_2 (s) + 2 NaNO_3 (aq)$

As per the phases this is the interpretation:

The symbols (aq) stands for aquous meaning that the compound is dissolved in water.

The symbol (s) stands for solid, meaning tha the compound precipitate and is not dissolved in water.
