MgCl2 + Cu(NO3)2

I need the full and net ionic equations for this.

I know NO3 is soluble and Cl is soluble too since there's no Ag, Pb, or Hg. Not sure how to write them out though.

You can often find a worked example if you paste that without formatting into google.

Tried but couldn't find it

Not without a reason - there will be no reaction.

doesn't make much sense. Solubility is a property of a SALT, not of a single ion. So you can state "Cl- will not precipitate out of the solution, as there is no cation that will create insoluble salt with it", but you can't state "Cl- is soluble" as it doesn't mean anything - you can't have flask with isolated Cl-.

Oh. I was just looking at solubility rules in my book.
