Enter the balanced molecular equation: hc2h302(aq) +mg(oh) 2(s) and enter the balanced ionic equation hc2h302(aq)+mg(oh)2(s)

2HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s)⟶ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ)  

Explanation:

An ionic equation uses the symbols (aq) [aqueous] to indicate molecules and ions that are soluble in water, (s) [solid] to indicate insoluble solids, and (ℓ) to indicate substances (usually water) in the liquid state.

This reaction is an acid-base neutralization, in which a weak acid reacts with an insoluble base to form water and a soluble salt.

1. Molecular equation

2HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s) ⟶ Mg(C₂H₃O₂)₂(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ)

2. Ionic equation

Magnesium acetate is a soluble ionic compound, so we write it as hydrated ions.

2HC₂H₃O₂(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s)⟶ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ)
