Aqueous Solutions. Write what is in the purple boxes. Ionic Equations. When a soluble substance is dissolved in water, the substance often breaks into ions. This solution is said to be an aqueous solution. Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) Pb 2+ (aq) + 2NO 3 - (aq) NaI (aq) Na + (aq) + I - (aq).

Aqueous Solutions Write what is in the purple boxes
Ionic Equations • When a soluble substance is dissolved in water, the substance often breaks into ions. This solution is said to be an aqueous solution. • Pb(NO3)2(aq) Pb2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) • NaI(aq) Na+(aq) + I-(aq) An aqueous solution is ions dissolved in water
Ionic Equations • Consider the reaction… • Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaI(aq) PbI2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq) • What is really going on is… • Pb2+ + 2NO3- + 2Na+ + 2I- PbI2(s) + 2Na+ + 2NO3- • Note that the Na+ ion and the NO3- ion are not reacting. They are said to be spectator ions.
Net Ionic Equations • It is often useful to write an equation showing only the species that are actually reacting. This is called a net ionic equation. It does not show the spectator ions. Pb2+ + NO3- + Na+ + 2I- PbI2(s) + Na+ + NO3- becomes…. Pb2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) PbI2(s)
Precipitates • The solid formed from mixing two aqueous solutions is called the precipitate
To predict precipitates, use the Precipitation Diagram A solid box means a solid forms
Examples • NaOH(aq) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) • Na3PO4(aq) + Fe(NO3)3(aq) • MgSO4(aq) + AgNO3(aq) • KOH(aq) + NaNO3(aq)
