Question

Write the net ionic equation for the following molecular equation Mg (s) +Snso (aq) Mgso4 (aq) Sn(s) Use the lowest possible coefficients. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aa) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Mg(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + Sn(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the following molecular equation.

Mg(s) + SnSO₄(aq) ⇄ MgSO₄(aq) + Sn(s)

The full ionic equation includes al the ions and the species that do not dissociate in water.

Mg(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Sn(s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and the species that do not dissociate in water.

Mg(s) + Sn²⁺(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + Sn(s)
