Question

H2O2

(aq) + MgSO3

(aq)  MgSO4

(aq) + H2O

Write the total ionic equation for the reaction

Answer 1

Total Ionic equation:

H₂²⁺(aq) + O₂²⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq)+SO²⁻₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical equation:

H₂O₂(aq) + MgSO₃(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Balanced chemical equation:

H₂O₂(aq) + MgSO₃(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Total Ionic equation:

H₂²⁺(aq) + O₂²⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq)+SO²⁻₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Water can not split into ions because it is present is liquid form.
