Question

Write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs in the following case: Cr2(SO4)3(aq)+(NH4)2CO3(aq)→ Express your answer as a balanced net ionic equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical reaction equation will be as follows.

`Cr_(2)SO_(4)(aq) + 3(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)(aq) \rightarrow Cr_(2)(CO_(3))_(3)(s) + 3(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)(aq)`

In the form of ions, reaction equation will be as follows.

`2Cr^(3+)(aq) + 3SO^(2-)_(4)(aq) + 6NH^(+)_(4)(aq) + 3CO^(2-)_(3)(aq) \rightarrow Cr_(2)(CO_(3))_(3)(s) + 6NH^(+)_(4)(aq) + 3SO^(2-)_(4)(aq)`

Now, cancelling the spectator ions, the net reaction equation will be as follows.

`2Cr^(3+)(aq) + 3CO^(2-)_(3)(aq) \righatrrow Cr_(2)(CO_(3))_(3)(s)`
