Answer:
1. Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) → 2Na(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)
2. 2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + Cd(s)
Explanation:
The net ionic equation of a reaction express only the chemical species that are involved in the reaction:
1. Mg (s) + Na2CrO4 (aq) → 2Na + MgCrO4(aq)
The ionic equation:
Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) + CrO4²⁻ (aq) → 2Na + Mg²⁺ + CrO4²⁻(aq)
Subtracting the ions that don't change:
<h3>Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) → 2Na + Mg²⁺</h3>
2. 2K(s) + Cd(NO3)2(aq) → 2KNO3(aq) + Cd(s)
The ionic equation:
2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq) + Cd(s)
Subtracting the ions that don't change:
<h3>2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + Cd(s)</h3>
