Crafting Ionic and Net Ionic Equations: Step-by-Step Guide with Exampl

Step 1 of 4

Here, we have to write the balanced complete ionic and net ionic equations for each reaction.

In a balanced chemical equation, the number of each type of atom or ion on both sides of the equation should be equal.

(a) \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{KCl}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{AgCl}(s)+\mathrm{KNO}_{3}(a q)\)

Total ionic reaction is:

\(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{K}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{AgCl}(s)+\mathrm{K}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}(a q)\)

Net Ionic equation is:

\(A g^{+}(a q)+C l^{-}(a q) \rightarrow A g C l(s)\)
