4.2 Continued… Writing Net Ionic Equations Learning Goals: 1. To dissociate all products and reactants (when applicable) 2. To determine the state of reactants and products using solubility rules. 3. To determine spectator ions present in solution

2. Writing ionic equations
Dissociation- to break apart into positive and negative ions
A soluble compound will dissociate into ions.
An insoluble compound does not dissociate.
Precipitate- insoluble solid formed in a reaction. It looks cloudy.

4. Pb(NO3)2(s)  Pb(NO3)2(aq)
H2O
Pb(NO3)2(s)  Pb(NO3)2(aq)
Pb2+(aq) NO31–(aq)
add water
dissociation: “splitting into ions”
NO31–
Pb2+
Pb2+
NO31–
NO31–

5. Solubility Rules Read solubility rule from p.860 of honors chem book
Alkali metals and ammonium ions are soluble.
Acetates and nitrtaes are soluble.
Halogens (except F) with metals (except Ag, Hg, Pb) are soluble.
Most sulfates are soluble.
Carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, sulfides, and phosphates are insoluble.

6. AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq)  AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Double Replacement Reaction
AgNO3(aq) NaCl(aq)  AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)
Ag+
Na+
NO3–
Cl– 
Ag+ o
NO3–
Na+
Cl–

8. Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaI(aq) g PbI2i+ 2NaNO3(aq)
Molecular Equation
Total Ionic Equation:
Pb2+ + 2NO3- + 2Na+ + 2I- g
PbI2i + 2Na+ + 2NO3-
Spectator ions appear on both sides of the equation without changing.
Net ionic equations ignore spectator ions.
Net ionic: Pb2+(aq) + 2I- (aq) g PbI2(s)

9. For double-replacement reactions, reaction will occur if any product is: water, a gas, a precipitate driving forces _Pb(NO3)2(aq) + _KI(aq)  _PbI2(s) + _KNO3(aq) _KOH(aq) + _H2SO4(aq)  _K2SO4(aq) + _H2O(l)

10. Try this BaCl2 ( )+ Na2SO4 ( ) 2NaCl ( ) + BaSO4 ( )
Total Ionic Equation:
Net Ionic Equation:
Spectator Ions:
Remember: If each product is soluble, no reaction occurs (NR)

11. Summary on Double Displacement Rxns
Remember!!!
Double displacement rxns only happen when 1 of the following is formed:
A precipitate is formed
A gas is formed
Water is formed
In all other cases, the ions stay in solution!!!
No rxn happens!!! 11
