write the ionic and net ionic equaton for 2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2
Molecular equation
2HNO₃(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s) → 2H₂O(l) + Mg(NO₃)₂(aq)
ionic equation
we can write ionic equation with soluble strong electrolytes as ions and Mg(OH)₂ is insoluble, so it is written as a molecule as well.
2H⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s) → 2H₂O(l) + Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
Net ionic equation
Let us cancel all soluble species that appear on either sides of the equation. Cancel the NO₃⁻ ions.
The net ionic equation is
2H⁺(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s) → 2H₂O(l) + Mg²⁺(aq)
