Which is the Net Ionic Equation for: (remember, the Net Ionic Eq. shows ALL of the PARTICIPANTS)

2FeCl3(aq) + 3Mg(s) ® 3MgCl2(aq) + 2Fe(s)

2Fe3+(aq) + 3Mg(s) ® 3Mg2+(s) + 2Fe(aq)

2Fe3+ (aq) + Cl3- (aq) + 3Mg(s) ® 3Mg3+ (aq) + Cl2- (aq) + 2Fe(s)

2Fe3+ (aq) + Cl3- (aq) + 3Mg(s) ® 3Mg3+ (aq) + Cl2- (aq) + 2Fe(s)

2Fe3+ (aq) + 6Cl- (aq) + 3Mg(s) ® 3Mg2+ (aq) + 6Cl- (aq) + 2Fe(s)

Explanation:

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and are present in an aqueous state and represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we do not not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

 The complete balanced ionic equation will be:

 In this equation, are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be:
