The question is incomplete,the complete question is as follows:

A piece of solid Fe metal is put into an aqueous solution of Cu(NO3)2. Write the net ionic equation for any single-replacement redox reaction that may be predicted. Assume that the oxidation state of in the resulted solution is 2 . (Use the lowest possible coefficients for the reaction. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank. If no reaction occurs, leave all boxes blank and click on Submit.)

Answer:

Fe(s) + Cu^2+(aq) => Fe^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

An ionic equation is a chemical equation which shows clear image of reactions of the electrolytes in aqueous solution.

Molecular reaction equation for the reaction between iron and copper II nitrate is as follows:

Fe(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) => Fe(NO3)2(aq) +Cu(s)

The net ionic equation for any single-replacement redox reaction is as follows:

Fe(s) + Cu^2+(aq) => Fe^2+(aq) + Cu(s)
