Why did you give calcium a charge on one side but not the other?

[MarkRosengarten]

@angrywinds The calcium with a +2 charge is bonded to a spectator ion. The spectator ion is not written in the ionic reaction, it is just assumed. On the other side, Ca has no charge. This is because it is not bonded to anything, so it has an equal number of protons and electrons.

@boysntoysreview ah I see, thanks man.

@jacsoccer7 Whoops! I was signed in under my other incarnation. You're very welcome. :)

in the equation 1:51 why did you have two nickels with the sulfate, considering nickel has a charge of +2 and sulfate has a charge of -2, so you don't require subscripts to balance.....

[boysntoysreview]

@jacsoccer7 Because nickel has two different oxidation states, +2 and +3.  For this example, I used the +3 (nickel (III)) ion.
