Compose the equation for the reaction of fluoride with potassium nitrate. State the spectator ions.

Here is my attempt:

K(NO3)2 + F- = N2O6 + KF

Or is it

K(NO3)2 + NaF = Na(NO3)2 + FK


I think the spectator ions are K- and NO3

Any ideas?

Thanks

1. Your formulas of nitrates are wrong.

2. Are you sure there is a reaction taking place?
