Question
Write the balanced chemical reaction in the space below that is described by the following:

 

Solid magnesium reacts with aqueous iron (II) nitrate to produce aqueous magnesium nitrate and solid iron. 

Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

 

  • A symbolic representation of of a chemical reaction that reveals 3 things    

                 1. reactants 

                 2. Products

                 3. Mole ratio of reactants and products 

  • Next we have have to use symbols like if gas - (g) , Solid - (s)  , liquid - (l) and for aqueous (aq) 

 

Steps to write chemical equation 

To write the chemical reaction into chemical equation first we should

  • identify the reactants and products 
  • Write formulas for all reactants and products 
  • Place the reactants left 
  • Place the products right and place arrow between them
