Explanation:
Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:
- Soluble salts.
- Strong acids and strong bases.
All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water:
,
, and
. These three salts will exist as ions:
- Each
formula unit will exist as one
ion and one
ion. - Each
formula unit will exist as one
ion and two
ions (note the subscript in the formula
.) - Each
formula unit will exist as one
and two
ions.
On the other hand,
is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.
Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite
,
, and
(three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.
Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each
formula unit will exist as only one
ion and one
ion. However, because the coefficient of
in the original equation is two,
alone should correspond to two
ions and two
ions.
Do not rewrite the salt
because it is insoluble.
.
Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of
and two units of
. Doing so will give:
.
Simplify the coefficients:
.
NH3 is soluble in water because it has the same amount of intermolecular forces as water. NH3 is a polar molecule and water is a polar molecule so they dissolve each other. NCl3 does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar molecule which is different with water. NCl3 is nonpolar due to the difference in electronegativities between 3 atoms of Cl and 1 atom if N2.
