Question:

Write the balanced molecular equation, complete ionic equation, and net ionic equation for the following reaction.

{eq}Zn(OH)_2(s) + H_2SO_4(aq) \to {/eq}

Chemical Equations:

Chemical equations involve the reactants and product molecules that are mixed and formed during the reactions. The chemical equations can be of many types such as balanced chemical equations, net or complete ionic equations. These equations show the same reaction but in different ways.

Answer and Explanation: 1

The balanced molecular equation -

{eq}Zn(OH)_2(s) + H_2SO_4(aq) \to ZnSO_{4(aq)}+ 2H_{2}O_{l} {/eq}

Complete ionic equation -

{eq}Zn^{2+}_{(s)}+2OH_{(aq)}^{-}+2H_{(aq)}^{+}+SO_{4\left ( aq \right )}^{2-}\rightarrow Zn_{(aq)}^{+}+2H_{2}O_{(l)} {/eq}

Net ionic equation-

{eq}2H_{(aq)}^{+} + 2OH_{(aq)}^{-} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O_{(l)} {/eq}
