Chapter 4.2 Writing Equations for Aqueous Ionic Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
Three Types of Equations to represent aqueous ionic reactions
A
- the molecular equation
- the total ionic equation
- the net ionic equation
2
Q
Molecular Equation
A
shows all the reactants and products as if they were intact, undissociated compounds
3
Q
Net Ionic Equation
A
eliminates the spectator ions and shows ONLY the actual chemical change
4
Q
Total Ionic Equation
A
shows all the soluble ionic substances dissociated into IONS
5
Q
spectator ions
A
ions that are not involved in the actual chemical change but are present only as part of the reactants
