Write the balanced net ionic equation for aqueous sodium carbonate to a solution of aqueous copper(II) nitrate. Include Phases.

Answer 1

Looking at the molecular equation, we have...

Na₂CO₃(aq) + Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) ==> 2NaNO₃(aq) + CuCO₃(s) ... double replacement

Since a precipitate (s) is formed, we can write the net ionic equation as follows:

Cu²⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) ==> CuCO₃(s) ... net ionic equation
