Write the net ionic equation for MgCO3 + H2SO4
That's the molecular equation.
Net ionic is
2H^+(aq) + [CO3]^2-(aq) ==> CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Please the net ionic equation for sulphuric acid and magnesium carbonate
To write the net ionic equation for the reaction between magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), we first need to identify the reactants and products in the chemical equation.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
MgCO3 + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2O + CO2
Now, let's break down the equation to identify the spectator ions and write the net ionic equation.
MgCO3 (s) + H2SO4 (aq) -> MgSO4 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
In this reaction, the sulfate ion (SO4^2-) and the water molecule (H2O) are not directly involved in the formation of products. Therefore, they are considered spectator ions and are not included in the net ionic equation.
The net ionic equation for the reaction is:
MgCO3 (s) + 2H+ (aq) -> Mg^2+ (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
In this equation, we represent the sulfuric acid as H+ ions since it is a strong acid that ionizes completely in water. The magnesium carbonate dissociates to form magnesium ions (Mg^2+) and carbonate ions (CO3^2-). The hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid react with the carbonate ions to form water and carbon dioxide.
Hence, the net ionic equation for the reaction between MgCO3 and H2SO4 is MgCO3 (s) + 2H+ (aq) -> Mg^2+ (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g).
