Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.41P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Reason for insolubility of zinc hydroxide in water and its solubility in nitric acid solution should be determined. Balanced total ionic and net ionic equations for the same should be determined.
Concept introduction: Three types of equations are used for representation of ionic reactions. These are mentioned below.
1. Molecular equation
2. Total ionic equation
3. Net ionic equation
In molecular equations indicate reactants and products in undissociated forms. In total ionic equations, total ions that are dissociated in reaction are represented while in net ionic reactions, only useful ions are written.
