What is a Net Ionic Equation?

Back

A chemical equation showing only the species which are actively involved in the reaction.

Front

What is the definition of a precipitate?

Back

A solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture.

Front

What does (aq) signify in a chemical equation?

Back

It indicates that the substance is dissolved in water (aqueous solution).

Front

What is the role of spectator ions in a chemical reaction?

Back

Spectator ions are ions that do not participate in the actual chemical reaction and remain unchanged.

Front

How do you identify a net ionic equation from a complete ionic equation?

Back

By removing the spectator ions from the complete ionic equation.

Front

What is the significance of solubility rules in predicting precipitate formation?

Back

Solubility rules help determine which compounds will remain dissolved and which will form precipitates.
