b) sodium bromide and lead nitrate
c) acetic acid and calcium hydroxide
d) calcium nitrate and sodium sulfate
e) ammonium chloride and lithium hydroxide
nevermind i figured them out
Thank you. I'm glad you could do them.
To write the molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for these reactions, let's go through each one:
a) Nitric acid (HNO3) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3):
1. Write the molecular equation by combining the formulas of the reactants: HNO3 + K2CO3 --> H2CO3 + 2KNO3
2. Write the complete ionic equation by separating all the soluble ionic compounds into their individual ions: 2H+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) + 2K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) --> H2CO3 +2K+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)
3. Write the net ionic equation by removing the spectator ions (ions that appear on both sides of the equation): 2H+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) --> H2CO3
b) Sodium bromide (NaBr) and lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2):
1. Molecular equation: 2NaBr + Pb(NO3)2 --> 2NaNO3 + PbBr2
2. Complete ionic equation: 2Na+(aq) + 2Br-(aq) + Pb^2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + PbBr2
3. Net ionic equation: 2Br-(aq) + Pb^2+(aq) --> PbBr2
c) Acetic acid (CH3COOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2):
1. Molecular equation: CH3COOH + Ca(OH)2 --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + 2H2O
2. Complete ionic equation: CH3COOH + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + 2H2O
3. Net ionic equation: CH3COOH + 2OH-(aq) --> 2H2O + CH3COO^-(aq)
d) Calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4):
1. Molecular equation: Ca(NO3)2 + Na2SO4 --> CaSO4 + 2NaNO3
2. Complete ionic equation: Ca^2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) --> CaSO4 + 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)
3. Net ionic equation: Ca^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) --> CaSO4
e) Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH):
1. Molecular equation: NH4Cl + LiOH --> LiCl + NH4OH
2. Complete ionic equation: NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Li+(aq) + OH-(aq) --> Li+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + NH4OH
3. Net ionic equation: NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) --> NH4OH
By following these steps, you can write molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic equations for various chemical reactions.
