ionic equations Flashcards
what are ionic equations
ionic equations are active ions involving chemical reaction leaving out ions that don’t react
what are ions that don’t react are called
spectator ions
what do ionic equations break up
break up soluble ionic salts, acids & alkalis into ions
(split non-metal with metal)
what ions are unable to be broken
covalent substances
what are insoluble substances and can they be broken
insoluble substances are solids, no
what is the reaction btw acid and alkali (neutalisation)
acid + alkali = salt + water
what is the reaction for halogen displacement
soluble salt + covalent substances = soluble salt + covalent substance
what is the reaction btw precipitation
ionic substance + acid = insoluble salt + acid
what is the reaction btw acid & metal
acid + metal = salt + hydrogen gas
what is the reaction btw acid and soluble carbonate
acid + carbonate = salt + carbon dioxide + water
what is the reaction btw acid and insoluble carbonate
acid + insoluble carbonate = salt + carbon dioxide + water
what is the reaction btw acid + insoluble bases
acid + base = salt & water
what is the reaction btw alkali + ammonium salt
alkali + ammonium salt = salt + ammonia + water
