QUESTION: Problem 26P
When each of the following pairs of aqueous solutions is mixed, does a precipitation reaction occur? If so, write balanced molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations:
(a) Sodium nitrate + copper(II) sulfate
(b) Ammonium bromide + silver nitrate
ANSWER:
Solution 26P:
Here, we are going to write 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.
