(a) Hg2(NO3)2(aq) + KI(aq) →
(b) FeSO4(aq) + Sr(OH)2(aq) →
ANSWER:
Solution 24P:
Here, we are going to write the precipitation reactions with balanced molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations.
Step 1:
A molecular equation is defined as a chemical equation where it is showing the complete, neutral formulas for every compound in a reaction.
A complete ionic equation is defined as a chemical equation where it is showing all of the species as they are actually present in solution.
A net ionic equation is defined as an equation showing only the species that actually change
during the reaction.
A spectator ions : The ions in the solution which are appear unchanged on both sides of the equation. These ions are called spectator ions because they do not participate in the reaction.
