net ionic equations
« on: August 21, 2007, 10:01:26 AM »
hii, is my equation right?
1. CaCO3(s) + HNO3(aq) --> Ca(NO3)2(ag) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

  Ca 2+ + CO3 2- + 2H+ +2NO3- -> Ca2+ + 2NO3- + H2O +CO2
  2H+  + CO3 2- -> H2O + CO2

CaCO3(s) + HNO3(aq)  ----- Ca 2+ + 2NO3-+H2O+CO2

 Zn(s) + FeSO4(aq)   -------- Zn2+ + SO42-+ Fe

Looks right to me.

Since your dealing with solid calcium carbonate, you should not represent it as ions in your ionic equation.  You should only dissociate salts marked as aqueous since solids are not dissociated in water.

I missed that. That's a good catch, and an excellent point.
