Question

Molecular equation

_{MgSO4 + Na2CO3 → MgCO3 + Na2SO4}

_{The net equation is} 

 

Answer 1

MgCO3 is a precipitate, and all others are aqueous. So, the net ionic equation only needs to include the species involved in the precipitate. Thus, the net ionic equation would be...

Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) ==> MgCO₃(s)
