Problem: What is the net ionic equation for magnesium iodide and potassium chlorate?A. MgI2(aq) + 2KClO3(aq) → Mg(ClO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq)B. Mg2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) → MgI2(s)C. Mg2+(aq) + ClO3-(aq) → Mg(ClO3)2(s)D. K+(aq) + I-(aq) → KI(s)E. All species remain aqueous; No Reaction

FREE Expert Solution

Determine the reaction between magnesium iodide and potassium chlorate and figure out the net ionic equation  

Magnesium iodide is composed of magnesium (Group 2A → +2 charge → Mg2+ ) and iodide (Group 7A anion → -1 charge → I-). The molecular formula will appear as MgI2. Recall that for ionic compounds, the charge of the ion goes to the subscript of the counterion
