Question

What is the ionic form of the following unbalanced equation MnO2+HNO2→Mn(NO3)2+H2O?

Answer 1

Answer : The net ionic form of the given unbalanced equation will be,

$MnO_2(s)+H^+(aq)+NO_2^-(aq)\rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Explanation :

Ionic form of the equation means that an ionic equation is a chemical reaction in which the electrolytes that are in aqueous solution are written as dissociated ions.

The given unbalanced equation is,

$MnO_2(s)+HNO_2(aq)\rightarrow Mn(NO_3)_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Now we have to write the ionic form of the given unbalanced equation.

The ionic form of the reaction will be,

$MnO_2(s)+H^+(aq)+NO_2^-(aq)\rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq)+NO_3^-(aq)+H_2O(l)$
