1. 12.53 mL of a 1.74 M solution of AgNO3 are mixed with 1.43 mL of a 9.63 M solution of MgI2. Write equations for the reaction, ionic and net ionic. 2. Usually they give the products of the reaction but in this case we have to figure out what is produced. Where do I start? Thx

I've been struggling with this for a while now. Cu(ClO4)2 is soluble so it should drop from both sides of the net ionic equation, right? Leaving only H20. Am I missing something? http://usera.imagecave.com/hotrod73dart/question/netionic.JPG
