Question

For the reaction, Ni (s) and HCl (aq), write the molecular, complete ionic and net ionic equations. Note: most likely charge on the nickel cation is +2.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Balanced Molecular reaction

$Ni(s) + 2HCl(aq)$ →$NiCl2(aq) +H2(g)$

Complete ionic reaction

$2 H^+ (aq) + 2 Cl^- (aq) + Ni (s)$→$Ni^2+ (aq) + 2 Cl^- (aq) + H2 (g)$

Net ionic reaction

$Ni(s)+ 2H^+(aq)$→$Ni^2+(aq) + H2(g)$
