How do you write the complete and net ionic equation?

EASY 10 POINTS!! How would I write out a complete ionic equation of the dissolution of carbon powder in water?

  • Answer:

    Is this even possible - not that I am aware. Carbon is an insoluble elemental substance. It does not ionise in water . I am even surprised that you found that the carbon was partially soluble in water. Therefore it is not possible to provide what you ask. The only possible "equation"which is not really an equation is : C(s) + H2O(l) → C(s) + H2O(l) As usual - I have to ask - have you submitted the correct and complete question.
