Sure! Here's how to express that chemical reaction in both word equation and skeleton equation formats:
### Word Equation:
Solid iron + Aqueous copper(II) nitrate → Solid copper + Aqueous iron(II) nitrate
### Skeleton Equation:
Fe (s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) → Cu (s) + Fe(NO₃)₂ (aq)
In the skeleton equation:
- Fe represents solid iron.
- Cu(NO₃)₂ represents aqueous copper(II) nitrate.
- Cu represents solid copper.
- Fe(NO₃)₂ represents aqueous iron(II) nitrate.
### Word Equation:
Solid iron + Aqueous copper(II) nitrate → Solid copper + Aqueous iron(II) nitrate
### Skeleton Equation:
Fe (s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) → Cu (s) + Fe(NO₃)₂ (aq)
In the skeleton equation:
- Fe represents solid iron.
- Cu(NO₃)₂ represents aqueous copper(II) nitrate.
- Cu represents solid copper.
- Fe(NO₃)₂ represents aqueous iron(II) nitrate.
