Question

Write the balanced NET ionic equation for the reaction when AgC₂H₃O₂ and Ni(ClO₄)₂ are mixed in aqueous solution

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to know or consult the solubility rules. As it turns out, both the reactants (silver acetate and nickel(II) perchlorate are soluble. Also, both products (silver perchlorate and nickel(II) acetate) are soluble.

Let's write the complete balanced molecular equation:

2AgC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Ni(ClO₄)₂(aq) ==> 2AgClO₄(aq) + Ni(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq)

Since all species are soluble, there is NO REACTION, so there is no net ionic equation.
