SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on determining the accuracy of expected observations for various chemical reactions, specifically double replacement reactions. Participants analyze reactions involving sodium bromide and hydrochloric acid, copper(II) sulfate and ammonium carbonate, calcium acetate and sodium carbonate, magnesium chloride and sodium hydroxide, and ammonium sulfate with barium nitrate. The key takeaway is that the net ionic equations must be derived from the solubility of reactants and products, with emphasis on identifying whether reactions yield solid precipitates or remain in solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double replacement reactions in chemistry
  • Knowledge of solubility rules for ionic compounds
  • Familiarity with writing molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations
  • Basic skills in chemical notation and reaction balancing
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the solubility rules for common ionic compounds
  • Learn how to write molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations
  • Explore examples of double replacement reactions in detail
  • Investigate the principles of precipitation reactions and their applications
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals involved in chemical education or laboratory work, particularly those focusing on reaction mechanisms and solubility principles.

elect "True" or "False" to indicate whether or not the stated reaction (or "no reaction") correctly corresponds to the expected observation in each case.


Sodium bromide and hydrochloric acid; Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> NaCl(s)

Copper(II) sulfate and ammonium carbonate; Cu2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) --> CuCO3(s)

Calcium acetate and sodium carbonate; Ca2+(aq) + 2C2H3O2-(aq) --> Ca(C2H3O2)2(s)

Magnesium chloride and sodium hydroxide; Mg2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) --> Mg(OH)2(s)

Ammonium sulfate and barium nitrate; No reaction occurs.



can u please help me in this Select "True" or "False" to indicate whether or not the stated reaction (or "no reaction") correctly corresponds to the expected observation in each case.

for each equation write the molecular, ionic and net ionic equation for each double replacement (aka methathesis reaction)

Ex.
NaBr( ) + HCl( )---> NaCl( ) + HBr( )
look up the solubilities of the reactants and products --- are they (aq) or (s) ?
Ionic reaction:
anything that is aq, can be written as dissociated like Na+(aq) + Br-(aq)
if everything is the same on the left and the right, all cancels, no net ionic
If something has (s), cannot dissociate, there will be a net ionic equation

so working out your own solution for the net ionic and compare with what the given statements are and you can determine if the statements are true or false
