Mercury ions (Hg2+2) can be removed from solution by precipitation with Cl−. Suppose that a solution contains aqueous Hg2(NO3)2.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
A)Write complete ionic equation to show the reaction of aqueous Hg2(NO3)2 with aqueous sodium chloride to form solid Hg2Cl2 and aqueous sodium nitrate.
B)Write net ionic equation to show the reaction of aqueous Hg2(NO3)2 with aqueous sodium chloride to form solid Hg2Cl2 and aqueous sodium nitrate.
