Write complete ionic equation to show the reaction of aqueous hg2(no3)2 with aqueous sodium chloride to form solid hg2cl2 and aqueous sodium nitrate. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

First we start with our molecular equation to ensure all atoms are balanced in order to maintain the law of conservation of mass.

.

The equation is unbalanced since we have 1 Cl atom on left hand side as opposed to 2 on the right hand side and we have 2 molecules on left hand side and 1 on the right hand side. So we add a coefficient of 2 on  both the and

The reaction occurs between solutes that are soluble in water to give a solid as a precipitate. So the complete ionic equation will show the soluble compounds in their dissociated states as ions in water and the insoluble compound as a solid.

what does the table look like

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
