IONIC and NET IONIC EQUATIONS • Net ionic – an equation representing what happens to the ions in a reaction - shows what is really taking place in a reaction
Aqueous substances • soluble in H2O • Use solubility table • Write in ion form
Steps for writing net ionic eqns: • 1. Write molecular eqn, (Don’t balance) • 2. Write ionic eqn – use solubility table • 3. Write net ionic eqn – cancel spectator ions Spectator ion – an ion that does not change from reactant side to product side
Example #1 – Sodium chloride reacts with lead (II) nitrate to form sodium nitrate and lead (II) chloride • 1 – Molecular eqn • 2 – Ionic • 3 – Net ionic eqn
Example #2 – Solutions of barium bromide and sodium sulfate react together. Predict the products, write the net ionic eqn. • 1 – Molecular eqn • 2 – Ionic • 3 – Net ionic eqn
IMPORTANT: Compounds that are _________ according to the _________ can ________ into _____ ONLY if __________ is present.
Example #3 – Sodium chlorate decomposes. • 1 – Molecular eqn • 2 – Ionic • 3 – Net ionic eqn
Example #4 – Methane gas (CH4) is burned in air. • 1 – Molecular eqn • 2 – Ionic • 3 – Net ionic eqn
