Answer:
K^+ and NO3^-
Explanation:
In a balanced ionic equation, we usually see the species that react to yield the main product in the reaction.
Consider the reaction;
Pb(NO3)2(aq) +2 KI(aq) -------> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)
The main product in this reaction is PbI2. Hence the balanced ionic equation is;
Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) ------> PbI2(s)
Notice that K^+ and NO3^- did not participate in this reaction. All ions that are part of the molecular equation but do not participate in the ionic reaction equation are called spectator ions. Hence K^+ and NO3^- are spectator ions in this reaction as can be seen clearly above.
As the building blocks of proteins , amino acids are linked to almost every life process, but they also have key roles as precursor compounds in many physiological processes.
