Explanation / Answer

1,. 2HNO3 + Mg(CH3COO)2 --> Mg(NO3)2 + 2CH3COOH

spectator ions = 2CH3COO- and 2H+

reactant= 2NO3- and Mg+2

product = Mg(NO3)2

not involved =

H(CH2H3O2)2                                                  

MgNO3

2. reactant = NH4+ and OH-

product = NH4OH

spectator : Na+ and Cl-

not involved = NH3 and H2O

3. reactant =

3 NO3-1 , Al+3 ,

product = Al(NO3)3

spectator = H+ and 3OH-

4. reactant =

SO4-2

2 NH4+

product = (NH4)2SO4

spectator = H+

not involved = H2OH
