Question

Write the balanced net ionic equation with the physical stage by each species for the following process: solid zinc chloride is moxes with lithium checkmate producing a yellow green solid. This was the start of my attempt, but I did not receive full credit. ZnCl2 aq +2 LiCO3 aq->Zn(ClO3)2 (s) +2LiCl (aq) Write the balanced net ionic equation with the physical stage by each species for the following process: solid zinc chloride is moxes with lithium checkmate producing a yellow green solid. This was the start of my attempt, but I did not receive full credit. ZnCl2 aq +2 LiCO3 aq->Zn(ClO3)2 (s) +2LiCl (aq) This was the start of my attempt, but I did not receive full credit. ZnCl2 aq +2 LiCO3 aq->Zn(ClO3)2 (s) +2LiCl (aq)

Explanation / Answer

net ionic equations contain ONLY thos ions reacting, so ignore spectator ions:

Solid Zinc Chloride --> ZnCl2(aq)

lithium carbonate--> Li2CO3(aq)

so... the "green" precipite is zinc carbnate

nte that you have incorrect data, since you used ClO3 which was never in the reactants

so..

ZnCl2(aq) + Li2CO3(aq) --> ZnCO3(s) + 2LiCl(aq)

note that this is molecular equation, we need net ionic

so the complete ionic

Zn+2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + 2Li+(aq) + CO3-2(aq) --> ZnCO3(s) + 2Li+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

cancel spectator ions for net ionic

Zn+2(aq) + CO3-2(aq) --> ZnCO3(s)

this is the net ionic equation,
