When the following solutions are mixed together, what precipitate (if any) will forms? Write the reaction equation for all the cases and write the net ionic equation for only those reactions that react:
potassium nitrate solution and barium acetate
I am seriously lost on this, this is the only one out of 6 that I cannot do for some reason. I've been doing chem since 4 today.
There is no reaction.
Look up the solubility of these.
KNO3 is soluble
Ba(C2H3O2)2 is soluble.
Now look at the possible products if they react as double displacement.
KC2H3O2 is soluble
and Ba(NO3)2 is soluble.
Neither of the possible products is a gas.
Neither is a weak electrolyte.
Reactions occur for the following reasons:
a ppt is formed.
a gas is formed
a weak electrolyte (like H2O) is formed.
a redox reaction occurs.
To determine if a precipitate will form when potassium nitrate solution and barium acetate are mixed, we need to consider the solubility rules.
The solubility rules state that nitrates (NO3-) and acetates (C2H3O2-) are generally soluble in water, so both potassium nitrate (KNO3) and barium acetate (Ba(C2H3O2)2) are soluble in water.
When a solution containing two soluble salts is mixed, a double displacement reaction may occur, resulting in the formation of a precipitate if one of the possible product compounds is insoluble in water.
In this case, potassium nitrate and barium acetate will react to form potassium acetate (K(C2H3O2)) and barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2).
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction would be:
KNO3 (aq) + Ba(C2H3O2)2 (aq) → K(C2H3O2) (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq)
Now, let's check if any precipitate is formed. By consulting a solubility table, we can see that both potassium acetate and barium nitrate are soluble in water.
Therefore, when potassium nitrate solution and barium acetate are mixed, no precipitate will form.
The net ionic equation for this reaction, focusing on the species that react and form the products, would be:
NO3- (aq) + Ba2+ (aq) → Ba(NO3)2 (aq)
To determine if a precipitate will form when potassium nitrate solution and barium acetate are mixed together, we need to consider the solubility of the resulting compounds.
First, let's write out the chemical equations for the reaction:
1. Potassium nitrate solution (KNO3) with barium acetate (Ba(CH3COO)2):
KNO3(aq) + Ba(CH3COO)2(aq) → ???
Next, let's determine the solubility of the resulting compounds by referring to a solubility table or chart. According to the solubility rules:
1. Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a soluble salt, meaning it stays dissolved as ions in water.
2. Barium acetate (Ba(CH3COO)2) is also a soluble salt.
Based on the solubility rules, both compounds are soluble, which means no precipitate will form when potassium nitrate and barium acetate are mixed. The reaction equation remains unchanged:
KNO3(aq) + Ba(CH3COO)2(aq) → No Reaction (all remain in aqueous form)
Remember that in some cases, if any of the reagents form a precipitate, you need to write the net ionic equation. However, since no precipitate forms in this case, there is no need to write the net ionic equation.
