NET IONIC EQUATIONS

1

• NET IONIC EQUATIONS
• Net ionic equations include only those reactants
  that participate in a chemical change. Reactions
  of ions in solutions are usually represented by
  net ionic equations rather than formula equations
  because it shows what really happened in the
  reactions.

2

• Start with a regular chemical equations showing
  ppt.
• Write ionic equation showing all dissolved
  dissociated ions in solutions.
• Notice Which ions appear on both sides of the
  equation that have NOT under-gone chemical
  change. These are called SPECTATOR IONS.
• To convert an ionic equation to a NET ionic
  equations the spectator ions are canceled on both
  sides of the equation.
• 4. Final Net Ionic Equation only shows active
  ions and the ppt.

3

• Write chemical, complete ionic, and net ionic
  equations for the following.
• Solutions of silver nitrate and sodium chloride
  are mixed.

4

• 2. Solutions of lithium phosphate and copper II
  sulfate are mixed.

5

• Solutions of aluminum chloride and ammonium
  hydroxide are mixed.

6

• Solutions of iron II sulfate and barium carbonate
  are mixed.

7

• 5. Solutions of zinc nitrate and ammonium
  sulfide are mixed.
