To write the net ionic equation for the reaction between copper carbonate and hydroiodic acid, we first need to identify the chemical formulas and states of each reactant and product.

Copper carbonate is a solid compound and its chemical formula is CuCO3. Hydroiodic acid is an aqueous solution of hydrogen iodide (HI).

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is as follows:

CuCO3(s) + 2HI(aq) -> CuI2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

To write the net ionic equation, we need to eliminate any spectator ions. Spectator ions are the ions that remain unchanged throughout the reaction and do not participate in the chemical change.

In this reaction, the ions that are not involved in the overall reaction are Cu2+ and CO32-. These ions are present on both the reactant and product sides of the equation. Therefore, they are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the reaction between copper carbonate and hydroiodic acid is:

2H+(aq) + 2I-(aq) -> 2H2O(l) + CO2(g)

In this net ionic equation, we have eliminated the spectator ions (Cu2+ and CO32-) and only included the ions that participate in the chemical change.
