Task 2. Balance and write ionic equations (including states) of the following chemical
reactions
1. Aqueous sodium chloride solution reacts with aqueous lead nitrate, producing precipitate
of lead chloride and aqueous sodium nitrate.
2. Sodium carbonate in aqueous solution reacts with aqueous iron (II) chloride, producing
precipitate of iron (II) carbonate and aqueous sodium chloride
3. Aqueous magnesium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid, producing aqueous
magnesium chloride and water.
4. Ammonium phosphate in aqueous solution reacts with aqueous zinc nitrate, to form
ammonium nitrate and precipitate of zinc phosphate.
5. Aqueous sodium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, yielding sodium chloride and
water and releasing carbon dioxide gas.
6. FeCl3(aq) + Mg(s)  MgCl2(aq) + Fe(s)
7. Zr(OH)4(s) + HNO3(aq)  Zr(NO3)4(aq) + H2O(l)
8. BaBr2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq)  BaSO4(s) + NaBr(aq)
9. AgNO3(aq) + MgI2(aq)  AgI(s) + Mg(NO3)2(aq)
10. FeCl3(aq) + (NH4)3PO4 (aq )  NH4Cl (aq ) + FePO4(s)
