Net Ionic Equations and Solubility

The video tutorial explains how to write the net ionic equation for the reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It begins by balancing the molecular equation and determining the states of each substance using solubility rules. The tutorial then demonstrates how to split strong electrolytes into ions to form the complete ionic equation. Spectator ions are identified and removed to derive the net ionic equation, which includes silver oxide and water as products. The video concludes with a tidy presentation of the net ionic equation.

What is the first step in writing the net ionic equation for a reaction?

• Write the complete ionic equation

• Determine the solubility of the products

• Balance the molecular equation

• Identify the spectator ions

Which of the following is a characteristic of nitrates in aqueous solutions?

• They are insoluble

• They form a precipitate

• They do not dissociate

• They are very soluble

What is the state of silver oxide (Ag2O) in the reaction between AgNO3 and NaOH?

• Gas

• Aqueous

• Liquid

• Solid

What is the role of a solubility table in determining the states of compounds?

• It identifies the charges of ions

• It helps balance the equation

• It predicts the reaction products

• It determines if a compound is soluble or insoluble

What charge does the silver ion (Ag+) typically have?

• 1+

• 1-

• 2+

• 2-

What is the charge of the hydroxide ion (OH-) in the reaction?

• 2-

• 1-

• 2+

• 1+

Which ions are considered spectator ions in the reaction between AgNO3 and NaOH?

• Silver and hydroxide ions

• Sodium and nitrate ions

• Hydroxide and nitrate ions

• Silver and sodium ions

Why are spectator ions removed from the complete ionic equation?

• They do not participate in the reaction

• They change the state of the products

• They are insoluble

• They form a precipitate

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction between AgNO3 and NaOH?

• 2Ag+ + 2OH- → Ag2O + H2O

• AgNO3 + NaOH → Ag2O + NaNO3
