Net ionic Equation question
« on: December 23, 2009, 09:17:25 PM »
I am currently working on some problems on a worksheet and i was wondering if it was possible to have a net ionic equation of a single replacement reaction, all that we were taught was double replacement rxn's
The problem in questions is
Aluminum reacts with hydrochloric acid
Questions:
Type of rxn: single replacement
Possible: yes
Reactants: Al + HCl
Products: AlCl3 + H2
Ionic Equation: 2Al + 6 H + 6Cl --> 2AlCl3 +3H2
Net ionic 6H --> 3H2

is this how i should go about this problem?  and did i do it the right way

Charges at ions are missing!
