Please could someone explain this? Both reactions are with aqueous acid but one includes water in the reactants and the other hydrogen ions? Thanksimage.jpgimage.jpg

Both equations include H2O and H+ ions but are on different sides of the arrow because the equation is balanced.

Use H20 to balance Oxygens & H with H+

This is a good video that explains: https://youtu.be/Lg-SZQcv0S4

Thank you very much, so If it says in an aqueous acid, can you add water or hydrogen ions?
