Amount of a Subtance: Ionic Equations.

Question 1

What do ionic equations ONLY show?

Answer 1

= reacting particles
= products formed

Question 2

What happens to the ionic substance?

Answer 2

= dissolve, breaks up the ions in the solution- NOT LIQUIDS, GASES OR SOLIDS.
= rewrite the equation to show the individual ions.

Question 3

How do we bring to the ionic equation?

Answer 3

= eliminate ions that appear on both sides
= make sure it is balanced + charges.

Question 4

What is a spectator ion?

Answer 4

= present in the reaction
= does not get involved
