[Solved] writing dissociation reactions

Post by debaser »

I tried to find something I could copy and paste as an example, but couldn't find a good one.

I try typing( Ag_(aq) ^+) +( CH_3(aq) ^-) + (CO_2(aq) ^-) toward AgCH_3 CO_2(s)

I've tried many variations of this,some with brackets, ome with {}, bt nothing is working right. Biggest trouble is with the ^+ . It always seems to end up as a ?.

Any help would be much appreciated. And if there's any way to make the ^+ to be placed right above the _3(aq). That would be ideal
