Hi,
I need help putting the following into a net ionic equation:
Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
I am not sure how to do subscripts on this forum. So this is solid copper added to nitric acid which yields copper sulfite, nitrogen dioxide and water.
Is this already in net form?
Thanks for your help.

For your reaction net ionic equation will be:
Cu + 4 H+ + 2 NO3- = Cu2+ + 2 NO2 + 2 H2O
