Answer:
3 CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 Cr³⁺(aq) ⇒ Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)
Explanation:
Let's consider the molecular equation that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and chromium(III) nitrate are combined.
3 (NH₄)₂CO₃(aq) + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃(aq) ⇒ 6 NH₄NO₃(aq) + Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)
The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.
6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 3 CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 Cr³⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq) + Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)
The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the insoluble species.
3 CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 Cr³⁺(aq) ⇒ Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)
