Look up the formula for Magnesium, Mercury, and Mercury(II) Nitrate.
Since Magnesium replaces Mercury in Mercury(II) Nitrate the equation must be:
Magnesium + Mercury(II) Nitrate = Magnesium Nitrate + Mercury
Right?
Replace the names with the formulas for the compounds, then balance the chemical equation.
