Balanced/Ionic Equation for Magnesium + Ethanoic Acid

Can someone check the equations below please.

Balanced Equation:

Mg (s) + 2CH3COOH (aq) --> Mg(CH3COO)2 (aq) + H2 (g)

Ionic Equation:

Mg (s) + 2CH3COO- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) --> Mg2+ (aq) + 2CH3COO- (aq) + H2 (g)

Net Ionic Equation:

Mg (s) + 2H+ (aq) --> Mg2+ (aq) + H2 (g)

Am I right in saying that the net ionic equation for magnesium and hydrochloric acid will be the same as the one above?
All looks fine to me, and yes :yy:

Thanks for the help :smile:
while writing ionic equation there are a few things that do not split for e.g : Weak acids,weak alkali,solids,gases,liquids.Since Ethanoic acid is a weak acid it should not split so ionic equation cant be written
