Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of zinc metal with aqueous iron (II) nitrate. Include physical states.

Zn° (s) + Fe⁺² (aq) = > Zn⁺² (aq) + Fe° (s)

Explanation:

Molecular Equation:

Zn° (s) + Fe (NO₃) ₂ (aq) = > Zn (NO₃) ₂ (aq) + Fe° (s)

Ionic Equation:

Zn° (s) + Fe⁺² (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) = > Zn⁺² (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + Fe° (s)

Net Ionic Equation: = > Drop NO₃⁻ as spectator ion

Zn° (s) + Fe⁺² (aq) = > Zn⁺² (aq) + Fe° (s)
