Question

Consider a solution containing ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, and mercury (I) nitrate. Hg₂(NO₃)2. write a net ionic equation

a.) NH₄+ + NO₃- ---> H₄NO₃
b.) Hg₂+2 + 4Cl- + 2NH₄+ ---> Hg₂Cl₂ + 2NH₄+ + 2Cl₂-
c.) Hg₂+2 + Cl- ---> Hg₂Cl₂
d.) Hg₂+2 + 2Cl- + Nh₄+ + NO₃- ---> NH₄No₃ + Hg₂+2 + 2Cl-

Answer 1

The net ionic equation for the reaction between ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and mercury(I) nitrate (Hg2(NO3)2) is: Hg2^2+ + 2Cl^- + 2NH4^+ → Hg2Cl2 + 2NH4^+.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net ionic equation for the reaction between ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and mercury(I) nitrate (Hg2(NO3)2) is:

Hg22+ + 2Cl- + 2NH4+ → Hg2Cl2 + 2NH4+

Option C (Hg22+ + Cl- → Hg2Cl2) matches this equation and is the correct answer.
