Question
Write the net ionic equation in which the slightly soluble salt magnesium carbonate, $\mathrm{MgCO}_{3}$, dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid.
Step 1
When magnesium carbonate dissolves in water, it dissociates into magnesium ions and carbonate ions. \[ \mathrm{MgCO}_{3}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}(aq) + \mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}(aq) \] Show more…
