Write the charge balance for a solution that contains h, oh-, mg2, hso4-, so42-, mg (hso4), mg (oh), na, and no3-.

A solution is when a solute is added to a water solvent. Since water is neutral, the charge of the said solution is dictated by the charge of the ion. This is the subscript of the element. If it is not stated, then we use the common ion form.

1. H: The charge for hydrogen ion is + 1.

2. OH⁻: The charge is ⁻1.

3. Mg2: This ion has a charge of + 2.

4. HSO₄⁻: - 1

5. SO₄²⁻: - 2

6. Mg (HSO₄) : This is not an ion, but an undissociated compound. So, it has a neutral charge of 7.

7. Mg (OH) : Neutral at pH 7

8. Na: Sodium ion has a charge of + 1.

9. NO₃⁻: - 1.
