When a strip of Mn metal is dropped into a solution of Cd(NO3)2, Cd metal is deposited on that strip. All solutions are aqueous at const. What is the net iontic equation?
molecular equation is:
Mn (s) + Cd(NO3)2 (aq) --> Cd (s) + Mn(NO3)2 (aq)
To get complete ionic equation, break aqueous components into respective ions
So, the complete ionic equation is
Mn (s) + Cd2+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq) --> Cd (s) + Mn2+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq)
To get net ionic equation, remove the common ions from both sides
So, the net ionic equation is
Cd2+ (aq) + Mn (s) --> Mn2+ (aq) + Cd (s)
