Respuesta :

The molecular equation is

2NaOH(aq) + Zn(NO_3)_2(aq) → Zn(OH)^2(s) + 2NaNO_3(aq)

The net ionic equation will not include the spectator ions it will only includes the other ions

So first let us consider the balanced ionic reaction

2Na^+  + 2OH^-(aq) + Zn^+2 + 2NO3^-1 (aq) → Zn(OH)_2(s) + 2Na^+ + 2NO3-(aq)

spectator ions are

Na+   and NO3^-

So net ionic equation will be

2OH^- (aq) + Zn^+2  → Zn(OH)_2(s)


Explanation:

The given molecular equation:

[tex]2NaOH(aq)+Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)[/tex]

The sodium hydroxide will give sodium ion and hydroxide in their aqueous solution.

[tex]NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)[/tex]

The zinc nitrate will zinc ion and nitrate ions in their aqueous solution.

[tex]Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+2NO_{3}^{-}(aq)[/tex]

So the molecular equation can be rewrite as:

[tex]2Na^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+Zn^{2+}(aq)+2NO_{3}^{-}(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2(s)+2Na^+(aq)+2NO_{3}^{-}(aq)[/tex]

Spectator ions will get cancelled out from the the sides and the net ionic equation comes out to be:

[tex]Zn^{2+}(aq)+2OH{-}(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2(s)[/tex]
