Question:

Write molecular and net ionic equations for the following reaction. Required equations: (Include state symbols and balance reactions if necessary)

A piece of solid magnesium metal is put into an aqueous solution of

iron III) nitrate.

Spectator Ions:

To get the full ionic equation of a reaction from the molecular equation, we simply expand in ionic form the aqueous compounds in the solution. The ions that have the same oxidation states on both sides of the equation are called spectator ions and we remove them to get the net ionic reaction.
