Write the net ionic equation for the reaction between Copper II Nitrate [Cu(NO3)2] and Sodium oxalate [Na2C2O4].


any tips? heh

While I actually spend quite a bit of time helping others....for this read your text book. This isn't hard by any means if you even looked at an example.

^ What he said

Of course, I took chemistry last year and can't remember how to do this. Shows you how long that stuff stays with you, not even 4 months. :D

Yeah, it's a very simple problem as long as you know your solubility rules... give me a sec to work it out.

Learn the information, here's what I think is the right answer: Cu^+2 + C2O4^-2 = CuC2O4

Seriously, read your book. This is one of the basic examples of solubility. If you don't know this from attending class, you need to reevaluate what you're doing in class.

Strong electrolytes + soluble= ionization---> cross out spectator ions and you have your net ionic equation.

err, are those solids or liquids?

thanks

Gawd, and I took AP Chem only just last year...
Summer is good at doing a low-level format of my brain.
