net ionic equations

Front

What is a net ionic equation?

Back

A net ionic equation shows only the species that participate in a chemical reaction, omitting the spectator ions.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

Provide an example of a synthesis reaction.

Back

2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl.

Front

What is the solubility of K₂CO₃?

Back

K₂CO₃ is soluble in water.

Front

What is a precipitate?

Back

A precipitate is a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture during a chemical reaction.

Front

Which ions form a precipitate when mixed?

Back

Ag⁺ and Cl^- form a precipitate (AgCl) when mixed.

Front

What is the balanced equation for the reaction of iron and oxygen?

Back

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Front

What is the role of spectator ions in a 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

Remove the spectator ions from the complete ionic equation to obtain the net ionic equation.

Front

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction of AgNO₃ and CaCl₂?

Back

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl^-(aq) → AgCl(s).
