Question

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of silver acetate and potassium fluoride. (Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer. Use the lowest possible

Answer 1

Net ionic equation is;

(Ag+)(aq) + (F-)(aq) = (AgF) (s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Silver acetate has a molecular formula of CH_3 - COO - Ag

Potassium fluoride has a molecular formula of KF.

Thus, molecular reaction is;

CH_3 - COO - Ag + KF = CH_3 - COO - K + AgF

Now we are told that they are both aqueous solution. This means that only the aqueous phase is ionized.

Thus, the total ionic equation is;

((CH_3 - COO)-)(aq) + (Ag+)(aq) + (K+)(aq) + (F-)(aq) = ((CH_3 - COO)-)(aq) + (K+)(aq) + (AgF) (s)

The spectator ions in the total net equation are;((CH_3 - COO)-) and (K+). Thus, they are not going to appear in the net ionic equation.

Net ionic equation is;

(Ag+)(aq) + (F-)(aq) = (AgF) (s)
