<u>Explanation:</u>
Net ionic equation is defined as the equations in which spectator ions are not included.
Spectator ions are the ones that are present equally on the reactant and product sides. They do not participate in the reaction.
- For (a): Sodium sulfide and silver nitrate
The balanced molecular equation is:
![Na_2S(aq)+2AgNO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+Ag_2S(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Na_2S%28aq%29%2B2AgNO_3%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%202NaNO_3%28aq%29%2BAg_2S%28s%29)
The complete ionic equation follows:
![2Na^{+}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)+2Ag^+(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+Ag_2S(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2Na%5E%7B%2B%7D%28aq%29%2BS%5E%7B2-%7D%28aq%29%2B2Ag%5E%2B%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E%7B-%7D%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%202Na%5E%2B%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E-%28aq%29%2BAg_2S%28s%29)
As sodium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.
The net ionic equation follows:
![2Ag^{+}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2S(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2Ag%5E%7B%2B%7D%28aq%29%2BS%5E%7B2-%7D%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%20Ag_2S%28s%29)
Sum of the coefficients = [2 + 1 + 1] = 4
- For (b): Lead(II) nitrate and sodium chloride
The balanced molecular equation is:
![2NaCl(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+PbCl_2(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2NaCl%28aq%29%2BPb%28NO_3%29_2%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%202NaNO_3%28aq%29%2BPbCl_2%28s%29)
The complete ionic equation follows:
![2Na^{+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)+Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+PbCl_2(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2Na%5E%7B%2B%7D%28aq%29%2B2Cl%5E%7B-%7D%28aq%29%2BPb%5E%7B2%2B%7D%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E%7B-%7D%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%202Na%5E%2B%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E-%28aq%29%2BPbCl_2%28s%29)
As sodium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.
The net ionic equation follows:
![Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Pb%5E%7B2%2B%7D%28aq%29%2B2Cl%5E%7B-%7D%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%20PbCl_2%28s%29)
Sum of the coefficients = [2 + 1 + 1] = 4
- For (c): Calcium nitrate and potassium carbonate
The balanced molecular equation is:
![K_2CO_3(aq)+Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+CaCO_3(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_2CO_3%28aq%29%2BCa%28NO_3%29_2%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%202KNO_3%28aq%29%2BCaCO_3%28s%29)
The complete ionic equation follows:
![2K^{+}(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)+Ca^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+CaCO_3(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2K%5E%7B%2B%7D%28aq%29%2BCO_3%5E%7B2-%7D%28aq%29%2BCa%5E%7B2%2B%7D%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E%7B-%7D%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%202K%5E%2B%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E-%28aq%29%2BCaCO_3%28s%29)
As potassium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.
The net ionic equation follows:
![Ca^{2+}(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ca%5E%7B2%2B%7D%28aq%29%2BCO_3%5E%7B2-%7D%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%20CaCO_3%28s%29)

The complete ionic equation follows:
![2Na^{+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)+Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+Ba(OH)_2(s)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2Na%5E%7B%2B%7D%28aq%29%2B2OH%5E%7B-%7D%28aq%29%2BBa%5E%7B2%2B%7D%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E%7B-%7D%28aq%29%5Crightarrow%202Na%5E%2B%28aq%29%2B2NO_3%5E-%28aq%29%2BBa%28OH%29_2%28s%29)
