Q

What are the 5 steps to writing net ionic equations

A
  1. first write the balanced molecular equation
  2. then ask yourself (for each molecule): a. is it soluble? (is it aqueous?) b. is it a STRONG electrolyte? (if the answer to either question is no, then it does not completely dissociate!!)
  3. write the complete ionic equation by separating the ions that have completely dissociated
  4. cross off the spectator ions in the complete ionic equation
  5. write the remaining ions and non-aqueous molecules
