Question

Write chemical equation for the following reactions. Indicate physical states and write net ionic equations. If no reaction indicate so.
Potassium carbonate + ammonium chloride

Answer 1

There is no reaction.

Molecular equation :

K₂CO₃(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) ⟶ 2KCl(aq) + (NH₄)₂CO₃(aq)

Ionic equation :

2K⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) +2Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Net ionic equation :

Cancel all ions that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow (underlined).

2K⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) +2Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

All ions cancel. There is no net ionic equation.
