aMgF2+bLi2Co3=cMgCo3+dLiF Step 2: Create a System of Equations Create an equation for each element (Mg, F, Li, Co) where each term represents the number of atoms of the element in each reactant or product. Mg:1a +0b=1c +0dF:2a +0b=0c+1dLi:0a+2b =0c+1dCo:0a+3b =3c ...
Li2CO3(aq)→ 2Li+(aq) + CO32-(aq) MgF2(s) + 2Li+(aq) + CO32-(aq) = MgCO3(s) + 2LiF(s) Spectator Ions Spectator ions are ions that do not take part in the reaction. They are removed from the complete ionic equation to get the net ionic equation.Net...
