1)
we have below Balanced equation
Zn (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) --> Zn(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 Ag (s)
2)
Total ionic equation is
Spectator ions should not be removed here. Spectator ions are part of total ionic equation
Zn (s) + 2 Ag+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq) --> Zn2+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq) + 2 Ag (s)
3)
Spectator ions should be removed now. Spectator ions are not part of total ionic equation
After removing Spectator ions, net ionic equation is:
2 Ag+ (aq) + Zn (s) --> 2 Ag (s) + Zn2+ (aq)
