Start with this

Can you explain how have you gotten that? Do you not begin this with this?

MgH2(CO3)2 + CH3COOH => Mg(CH3COO)2 + CO2

Theres water on both sides so dont they cancel out and get removed?

1.99 g of magnesium hydrogencarbonate was added to a 2.118 mol/L solution of acetic acid, CH₃COOH in water (50.0 mL), producing carbon dioxide gas, water and magnesium acetate, Mg(CH3COO)2. - Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction I've tried doing this manually and it doesnt work and th...
