Which species acts exclusively as spectator ions in this reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
adelina 88 [10]3 years ago
4 0

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.

What’s the fastest way to balance chemical equations
Anon25 [30]

Hey there!

The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.

Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.

Hope this helps!

I need HELP!!!<br><br> Do the benefits of nuclear power outweigh the risks?
Georgia [21]
While there is no such thing as 100 percent safe, having nuclear energy is much safer than you think. It's thousands of times safer than conventional coal and other fossil-fuel-derived energy, not to mention the specter of environmental disaster from continued use of carbon-based energy sources.

The sun’s core is made of solid rock. True or false
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Heres what its made of:

The core is made of hot, dense plasma (ions and electrons), at a pressure estimated at 265 billion bar (3.84 trillion psi or 26.5 petapascals (PPa)) at the center. Due to fusion, the composition of the solar plasma drops from 68–70% hydrogen by mass at the outer core, to 34% hydrogen at the core/Sun center.
