Write the correct chem formula, predict products, and write the molecular, total, and net ionic equations.


1) barium chlorate + lithium carbonate
Ba(ClO3)2 (s) + Li2CO3 (aq) --> BaCO3 (s) + 2LiClO3 (aq)
Ba(ClO3)2 (s) + 2Li(+) + CO3 (2-) --> BaCO3 + 2Li(+) + 2ClO3-
Ba(ClO3)2 (s) + CO3 (2-) (aq) --> BaCO3 (s) + 2ClO3-(aq) ?


2) sodium hydroxide + aluminum SULFATE
6NaOH (aq) + Al2(SO4)2 (aq) --> 3NaSO4 (aq) + 2Al(OH)2 (s)
6Na(+) + 6OH- + 2Al (3+) + 3SO4 (2-) --> 6Na+ + 3SO4 (2-) + 2Al(OH)3 (s)
6OH- (aq) + 2Al (3+) (aq) --> 2Al(OH)3 (s) ?

3) sodium carbonate + hydroiodic acid
Na2CO3 (aq) + 2HI (aq) --> 2NaI (aq) + H2CO3 (s)
2Na (+) + CO3 (2-) + 2H+ + 2I- --> 2Na(+) + H2CO3 (s)
CO3 (2-) (aq) + 2H+ (aq) --> H2CO3 (s) ?


4) barium hydroxide + hydrobromic acid
Ba(OH)2 (aq) + 2HBr (aq) --> Ba(Br)2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
Ba (2+) + 2OH- + 2H+ + 2Br- --> Ba (2+) + 2Br- + H2O
2OH- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) --> 2H2O (l)?
Thanks.

#1 is fine
#2 you are showing the reaction between aluminum sulfate and sodium hydroxide; not aluminum bromide

Al2SO4 is the wrong formula for aluminum sulfate.

#3 carbonic acid is unstable and breaks up into CO2 and H2O (H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2)

#4 looks good, but Ba(Br)2 should be written as BaBr2 and you can divide your net ionic equation by 2 (by the way all acid-base neutralization equations will have the same net ionic equation of OH- + H+ --> H2O
 
  • #3
3) CO3 (2-) (aq) + 2H+ (aq) --> H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
2) mistyped question (which explains why I missed Al2(SO4)3 --I'm sorry!)
sodium hydroxide + aluminum sulfate
6OH- (aq) + 2Al (3+) (aq) --> 2Al(OH)3 (s) ?

Can someone check to see if I wrote the equations correctly?


A. magnesium metal + sulfuric acid

Mg (s) + H2SO4 (aq) --> MgSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)
Mg (s) + 2H+ (aq) + SO4 (2-) (aq) --> Mg (2+) (aq) + H2 (g)
Mg(s) + 2H+ (aq) --> Mg (2+) (aq) + H2 (g)

B. lead (II) nitrate + hydrochloric acid

Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2HCl (aq) --> PbCl2 (s) + 2HNO3 (aq)
Pb (2+) (aq) + 2NO3- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) --> PbCl2 (s) + 2H+ (aq) + 2NO3 - (aq)
Pb (2+) (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) --> PbCl2 (s)

Thanks again.

Your correction to the aluminum sulfate looks fine.

A) "Mg (s) + 2H+ (aq) + SO4 (2-) (aq) --> Mg (2+) (aq) + H2 (g)"
Forgot sulfate ion on right side but net ionic is fine.

B) Looks good.
 

1. What is a net ionic equation?

A net ionic equation is a chemical equation that only shows the species that are involved in a chemical reaction and their respective charges. It excludes any spectator ions, which are ions that do not participate in the reaction.

2. How do I write a net ionic equation?

To write a net ionic equation, first write the balanced molecular equation for the reaction. Then, use the solubility rules to determine which species are soluble and which are insoluble. Finally, eliminate any spectator ions from the equation to obtain the net ionic equation.

3. What are the steps for predicting products in a net ionic equation?

The steps for predicting products in a net ionic equation are: 1) identify the reactants and determine their charges, 2) use the charges to determine the products, 3) write the balanced molecular equation, and 4) eliminate any spectator ions to obtain the net ionic equation.

4. How are net ionic equations useful?

Net ionic equations are useful because they show only the essential components of a chemical reaction, making it easier to understand and analyze. They also allow us to focus on the actual substances that are undergoing a change, rather than the spectator ions.

5. Can a net ionic equation predict the physical state of the reactants and products?

No, a net ionic equation only shows the chemical species and their charges involved in a reaction. It does not provide information about the physical state of the reactants and products. This information can be determined by observing the reaction or by referring to a solubility chart.
