Answer:
Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)
Explanation:
2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) —>2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)
The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction above can be obtained as follow:
AgNO3(aq) and CaCl2(aq) will dissociate in solution as follow:
AgNO3(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
CaCl2(aq) —> Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) –>
2Ag+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) —> 2AgCl(s) + Ca2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)
Cancel out the spectator ions i.e Ca2+(aq) and 2NO3- to obtain the net ionic equation.
2Ag+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) —> 2AgCl(s)
Divide through by 2
Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)
The, the net ionic equation is
Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)
