Final answer:

The net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous potassium carbonate and aqueous silver nitrate to precipitate silver carbonate is K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Ag+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) -> Ag2CO3(s) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq).

Step-by-step explanation:

The net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous potassium carbonate and aqueous silver nitrate to precipitate silver carbonate is:



K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)



In this net ionic equation, the spectator ions (K+ and NO3-) are not shown, as they do not participate in the reaction. Only the ions directly involved in the formation of silver carbonate are shown.
