I need some help. These problems aren't hard at all, but for some reason, I can't seem to figure this one out. I wanna say it's because of Hg's retarded nature. And I have to type everything into the computer (a major pain in the butt). Any help would be appreciated. Here's what I have to do.

Write net ionic equation to show the reaction of aqueous Hg2(NO3)2 with aqueous sodium chloride to form solid Hg2Cl2 and aqueous sodium nitrate.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Anybody who legitimately attempts this problem will receive rep (if I can rep you).

EDIT: I got it. Don't worry about trying to solve it anymore. Thanks, peoples.

he basic equation is:
Hg2(NO3)2 + NaCl ---> Hg2Cl2 + 2NaNO3
It works because mercury(I) chloride is an insoluble salt.

To achieve ionic equation, write everything as ions that can be, and then cancel ions appearing on each side of eqtn
final

2Hg+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) ---> Hg2Cl2(s)

Use Google brah

Here's a link to the answer
LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU
Silly people. Narutobase is a last resort. I've already used Google and gone to the exact same website(s) you guys are suggesting/copying and pasting from. It is, for whatever reason, not correct. Derps.

The chemical equation is as follows:

Hg(NO3)2 + 2NaCl=HgCl2 + 2NaNO3

To find net ionic, you first need complete ionic, which is just breaking apart each individual molecule. It is as follows:

Hg2+ + 2NO3- + 2Na+ + 2Cl-=HgCl2(s0 + 2Na+ + 2NO3-.

In the complete ionic, you break down everything but the precipitate. To find the precipitate, you can just follow these rules, called the solubility rules


When writing a complete ionic equation, the precipitate, which is the solid that forms, remains together. The net ionic equation is just the two parts that form the precipitate and the precipitate itself:

Hg2+ + 2Cl-=HgCl2(s)

The bolded is your answer. If you have any questions about this post, ask away.

Yeah your post came through while I was typing XD

And Yusuke, I really dislike the way it came out while typing it here, so I took the liberty of writing it down myself and taking a picture to show what it's supposed to look like when written down.

2 Hg[SUB](aq)[/SUB][SUP][SUP]-[/SUP][/SUP] + 2 Cl[SUB](aq)[/SUB][SUP][SUP]-[/SUP][/SUP] → HgCl[SUB]2 (s)[/SUB]
2Hg is incorrect, Hg already gives off 2 electrons. 2Hg would mean that Cl becomes 4Cl, unless that's what your teacher wants. Not only that, but Hg has a positive charge, not a negative one. If it did, it wouldn't be able to pair up with either nitrate or chloride.

I like your handwriting Riker, its very legible.
