Answer:
ionic equation:
2NH4(+)(aq) + CO3(2-)(aq) + Mg(2+)(aq) + 2Cl(-)(aq) → NH4(+)(aq) + Cl(-)(aq) + MgCO3(s)
net ionic equation:
NH4(+)(aq) + CO3(2-)(aq) + Mg(2+)(aq) + Cl(-)(aq) → MgCO3(s)
Explanation:
For ionic equations Start with a balanced molecular equation. Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions . Indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion .Indicate the correct number of each ion . Write (aq) after each ion and bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged. The coefficients are given by the number of moles
(NH4)2CO3(aq)→ 2NH4(+) + CO3(2-). Then
2NH4(+)(aq) + CO3(2-)(aq) + Mg(2+)(aq) + 2Cl(-)(aq) → NH4(+)(aq) + Cl(-)(aq) + MgCO3(s)
For net ionic equations Write the balanced molecular equation.
Write the balanced complete ionic equation. Cross out the spectator ions that are present, it means the repeated ions on both sides of the equation. Write the "leftovers" as the net ionic equation.
NH4(+)(aq) + CO3(2-)(aq) + Mg(2+)(aq) + Cl(-)(aq) → MgCO3(s)
