Complete, Balance, and Identify the Equations: a. Molecular Equation - The molecular equation shows the complete compounds in their undissolved state or as they appear in solution without breaking them into ions. Example formula: 2 NaCl (aq)+Pb(NO3)2(aq)→PbCl2(s)+2 NaNO3(aq)2NaCl (aq)+Pb(NO3)2(aq)→PbCl2(s)+2NaNO3(aq). Explanation: In this molecular equation, we write the reactants and products as whole compounds. (aq) means the substance is dissolved in water, and (s) means it is a solid (precipitate).

a)

What is the state of NaCl in the molecular equation?

b)

What is the state of PbCl2 in the molecular equation?

c)

What is the state of NaNO3 in the molecular equation?

8.

Complete, Balance, and Identify the Equations: b. Total Ionic Equation - The total ionic equation shows all the ions that are present in the solution, where soluble compounds are broken into their respective ions. Example: 2 Li+(aq)+SO42−(aq)+Sr2+(aq)+2 Cl−(aq)→2 Li+(aq)+2 Cl−(aq)+SrSO4(s)2Li+(aq)+SO42−(aq)+Sr2+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)→2Li+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)+SrSO4(s). Explanation: (aq) is for aqueous, meaning the ions are dissolved in the solution. We show all the ions involved in the reaction, not just the compounds.
