Identifying Net Ionic Equations for Reactions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on identifying net ionic equations for various chemical reactions. The reactions analyzed include chromium with silver nitrate, gold with hydrochloric acid, nickel with calcium acetate, aluminum with sulfuric acid, and zinc with lead (II) nitrate. Key conclusions indicate that reactions occur for chromium, aluminum, and zinc, while gold and nickel do not react. The net ionic equations for the reactions that do occur have been provided, demonstrating the transfer of electrons and formation of products.

b) B) Gold immersed in hydrochloric acid.
c) Nickel pellets dropped into calcium acetate, Ca(C2H3O2)2.
d) Aluminum dropped into a bath of sulphuric acid.
e) Zinc dipped into a solution of lead (II) nitrate.

The Attempt at a Solution


I can't really figure out how to form a net ionic equation or how to get the charge but here is my attempt so far
a) Cr(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) -> Cr(NO3)2(aq) + 2 Ag(s)
b) Au(s) + HCl(aq) -> no reaction
c) Ni(s) + Ca(C2H3O2)2(aq) -> no reaction
d) 2 Al(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) -> Al2(SO4)3 + 3 H2
e) Zn(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -> Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Pb(s)

if anyone can look over this i'd really appreciate it

i attempted to form the net ionic equations I'm just still not sure if this is correct.

a) Chromium dipped into silver nitrate.
Cr(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq) -> Cr(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 Ag(s)
Therefore the net ionic equation is
Cr(s)+2 + Ag(aq)+ -> Cr(aq)+2 + Ag(s)+
b) Gold immersed in hydrochloric acid.
Au(s) + HCl(aq)-> no reaction
c) Nickel pellets dropped into calcium acetate, Ca(C2H3O2)2.
Ni(s) + Ca(C2H3O2)2 -> no reaction
d) Aluminum dropped into a bath of sulphuric acid.
2 Al(s) + 3 H2SO4(aq) -> Al2(SO4)3 + 3 H2
Therefore the net ionic equation is
2Al(s)+3 + H2(aq)+ -> Al2(aq)+3 + H2(g)+
e) Zinc dipped into a solution of lead (II) nitrate.
Zn(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -> Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Pb(s)
Therefore the net ionic equation is
Zn(s)+2 + Pb(aq)+2 -> Zn(aq)+2 + Pb(s)+2
