enter the net ionic equation, including phases, for the reaction of AgNO3(aq)with Ba(OH)2(aq).
2AgNO3 + Ba(OH)2--->2AgOH +Ba(NO3)2
2Ag^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ==> 2AgOH(s)
To write the net ionic equation for the reaction between AgNO3(aq) and Ba(OH)2(aq), we need to start by writing the balanced chemical equation.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
2AgNO3(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → 2AgOH(s) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)
Next, we need to determine the states of each substance involved in the equation. (aq) represents a substance in the form of an aqueous solution, (s) represents a solid substance, and (l) represents a liquid substance.
In this reaction, AgNO3 and Ba(NO3)2 are both aqueous solutions, so they remain in their original form as (aq). However, AgOH is a solid, so it is represented as (s).
Now, we can write the net ionic equation by eliminating the spectator ions, which are ions that appear on both sides of the equation and do not participate in the reaction:
The complete ionic equation for the reaction is:
2Ag⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → 2AgOH(s) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq)
In this reaction, Ba²⁺ and NO3⁻ are spectator ions because they appear on both sides of the equation. Therefore, they can be eliminated from the equation to write the net ionic equation:
Net ionic equation:
2Ag⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → 2AgOH(s)
The net ionic equation represents only the ions that are directly involved in the reaction, which in this case are Ag⁺ and OH⁻ ions forming AgOH.
