(aq) + MgSO3

(aq)  MgSO4

(aq) + H2O

Write the total ionic equation for the reaction

Total Ionic equation:

H₂²⁺ (aq) + O₂²⁻ (aq) + Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO₃²⁻ (aq) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO²⁻₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

H₂O₂ (aq) + MgSO₃ (aq) → MgSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Balanced chemical equation:

H₂O₂ (aq) + MgSO₃ (aq) → MgSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Total Ionic equation:

H₂²⁺ (aq) + O₂²⁻ (aq) + Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO₃²⁻ (aq) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO²⁻₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Water can not split into ions because it is present is liquid form.
