2017 Net Ionic Equations.notebook March 27, 2017

All forms of life have one thing in common – water. Water’s ability to dissolve many different compounds enables it to carry the nutrients required by the vast range of life forms on Earth. However, water can also dissolve and carry harmful compounds, both natural substances and human­made pollutants.

UNIT 4 Chapter 9: Reactions in Aqueous Solutions

                                                     Net Ionic EquationsThe reaction shown here is a double displacement reaction with a spectacular colour change. In water, ionic substances dissociate into their component ions. Non­reacting ions in an aqueous solution are called spectator ions. 

Note that water is not a reactant in the chemical equation.

Writing Net Ionic EquationsIn an ionic equation, the formulas of soluble ionic compounds

 (Balanced Chemical Equation) are replaced with the formulas of the ions that these compounds form in water. (Total Ionic Equation) The following balanced equation:

2AgNO3(aq) + Na2CrO4(aq) à Ag2CrO4(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

becomes the Total Ionic Equation when the formulas for aqueous ionic substances are written in dissociated form: 2Ag+(aq) + 2NO3

­(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + CrO2

4­(aq) à  Ag2CrO4(s) + 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3

­(aq)

UNIT 4 Chapter 9: Reactions in Aqueous Solutions Section 9.1

Writing Net Ionic Equations2Ag+(aq) + 2NO3

­(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + CrO4

­2(aq) à  Ag2CrO4(s) + 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3

­(aq)

 Spectator ions will appear on both sides of the equation and can be cancelled to obtain the net ionic equation. The Net Ionic Equation shows only the ions that react.

                              2Ag+(aq) + CrO4­2((aq) à Ag2CrO4(s)

 It is convenient to use this form of the equation since the source of the silver and 

chromate ions does not matter. Changing the spectator ions does not change the reaction.

UNIT 4 Chapter 9: Reactions in Aqueous Solutions Section 9.1

Spectators are present at a sporting event but do not take part in the event, just as spectator ions are present in a reaction but do not take part in it.
