Write the balanced molecular ionic and net ionic equations f

Write the balanced molecular, ionic and net ionic equations for the reaction that would occur between CuCl₂(aq) and Pb(s).

Solution

A Net Ionic Equation is a chemical equation for a reaction which lists only those species participating in the reaction.

To write a Net Ionic Reaction, follow these 3 steps:
1) Start by simply writing the overall balanced chemical reaction. This is also called theMolecular Equation.

2) Then, you break apart the soluble molecules into the two ions that are formed (one positive and one negative). You will have to use the solubility rules to do this, they can be found online. If something is insoluble, it should not be broken apart. Write the reaction out with all of the separated ions. This is called the Total Ionic Equation.

3) Then, you simplify by canceling things out if they appear on both sides of the reaction, resulting in the Net Ionic Equation.

or write one reduction half
and other oxidation half and simply add them
For example, let look at the reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide:

Pb + CuCl₂ = PbCl₂ + Cu
