Answer:
Based on compounds given, NO reaction occurs
Explanation
The compounds should exchange ions to generate a driving force that pulls the reaction to completion. => Example ...
The Molecular Equation is ...
NH₄Cl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) => NH₄NO₃(aq) + AgCl(s)
Silver chloride forms in this reaction as a solid precipitate because of its low solubility and is the 'Driving Force' of the reaction. Driving Force is a more stable compound than any on the reactant side and when formed leaves the reaction system as a solid ppt, liquid weak electrolyte (i.e., weak acid or weak base) or a gas decomposition product of a weak electrolyte.
The Ionic Equation is ...
NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) => NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + AgCl(s)
This shows all ions from reaction plus the Driving Force of the reaction.
The Net Ionic Equation is ...
Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) => AgCl(s)
The Net Ionic Equation shows only those ions undergoing reaction. The NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions are 'Spectator Ions' and do not react.
Attached is a reference sheet for determining the Driving Force of a Metathesis Double Replacement Reaction. Suggest reviewing acid-base theories and the products of decomposition type reactions.
