Consider the reaction to remove mercury from a water source through
precipitation:
Hg(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) HgCl,(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
a. On your paper, draw a diagram that shows the correct amount of
sodium chloride needed to react with the
amount of mercury (II)
nitra
represented in the box on the right.
5. What else is present in the beaker at the end of the reaction, besides th
solid HgCl,?
E. Why aren't there any mercury ions left over at the end?
