Question

For the following aqueous reaction, complete and balance the molecular equation and write a net iconic equatio, making sure to include the physical states of the compounds:
Potassium carbonate + Strontium nitrate

Answer 1

Answer:

Balance molecular equation:

K2CO3(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

Net ionic equation:

CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) → SrCO3(s)

Explanation:

Potassium carbonate = K2CO3

Strontium nitrate = Sr(NO3)2

Chemical equation:

K2CO3 + Sr(NO3)2 → SrCO3 + KNO3

Balance chemical equation with physical states:

K2CO3(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

Ionic equation:

2K+(aq) + CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) + 2NO∧-3(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO∧-3(aq)

Net ionic equation:

CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) → SrCO3(s)

2K+ and 2NO∧-3 ions are spectator ions that's way these are not written in net ionic equation.

Spectator ions:

These are the ions that are present same on both side of chemical reaction and does not effect the equilibrium.
