Question

Write the net ionic equation for this precipitation reaction. Include physical states. ( NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ( aq ) + Ca ( ClO 4 ) 2 ( aq ) ⟶ CaCO 3 ( s ) + 2 NH 4 ClO 4 ( aq

Answer 1

The net ionic equation:

`Ca^(2+)(aq)+CO_(3)^(2-)(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_(3)(s)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The given chemical reaction is as follows.

`(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3)(aq)+Ca(ClO_(4))_(2)(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_(3)(s)+2NH_(4)ClO_(4)(aq)`

The total ionic equation is as follows.

`2NH_(4)^(+)(aq)+ CO_(3)^(2-)(aq)+Ca^(2+)(aq)+2ClO_(4)^(-)(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_(3)(s)+2NH_(4)^(+)(aq)+2ClO_(4)^(-)`

Similar ions on the both sides of the reaction will be cancelled.

The remaining reaction is

`Ca^(2+)(aq)+CO_(3)^(2-)(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_(3)(s)`

Therefore, the net ionic reaction is as follows.

`Ca^(2+)(aq)+CO_(3)^(2-)(aq) \rightarrow CaCO_(3)(s)`
