Question

Write a balanced net ionic equation for the following reaction. Explain how you arrived at this answer. What did you cancel out?

AgNO^3 (aq) + KCI (aq) ----> AgCI (s) + KNO^3 (aq)

Answer 1

The net ionic equation is

Ag⁺(aq) +Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl(s)

Step-by-step explanation

AgNO₃ (aq) + KCl (aq)→ AgCl(s) +KNO₃(aq)

from above molecular equation break all soluble electrolyte into ions

Ag⁺(aq) +NO₃⁻ (aq) + K⁺(aq) +Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl (s) + K⁺(aq) + No₃⁻(aq)

cancel the spectator ions in both side of equation =K⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions

The net ionic equation is therefore

= Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → AgCl(s)
