Understanding Ionic Equations

What is formed when sodium chloride reacts with silver nitrate in water?

• Sodium chloride and silver nitrate

• Sodium and silver ions

• Sodium nitrate and silver chloride

• Chloride and nitrate ions

What happens to sodium ions when sodium chloride is dissolved in water?

• They remain in crystalline form

• They form a solid

• They dissociate and attract to oxygen

• They combine with chloride ions

In the context of the video, what is the role of water?

• It is a product

• It acts as a reactant

• It forms a solid

• It is a solvent that facilitates ion dissociation

Which of the following best describes a complete ionic equation?

• It shows ions in solid form

• It shows only the products

• It shows all ions in their dissociated form

• It shows only the reactants

What is a spectator ion?

• An ion that dissolves in water

• An ion that forms a solid

• An ion that remains unchanged on both sides of the equation

• An ion that participates in the reaction

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

• Balance the equation

• Include all reactants

• Remove the spectator ions

• Add more ions

Which ion is not a spectator ion in the reaction discussed?

• Potassium ion

• Nitrate ion

• Sodium ion

• Chloride ion

What is the main advantage of a net ionic equation?

• It is more complex

• It includes spectator ions

• It highlights the actual reacting species

• It shows all ions involved

What happens to silver ions in the net ionic equation?

• They remain dissolved

• They form a solid with chloride ions

• They become spectator ions

• They react with sodium ions

What would happen if potassium chloride was used instead of sodium chloride?

• Potassium would form a solid

• Potassium would be a spectator ion

• Potassium would dissolve in water

• Potassium would react with silver
