Question

Use the solubility rules to write net ionic equations for thereactions that occur when solutions of the following aremixed.
Instructions
Write reactants and products in the followingorder:
Cation + Anion -> Precipitate
Use "->" (hyphen + greater than) to indicate 'yields'
Write subscripts as numbers with no special character, but use a"^" before each superscript. Always write the number before thesign and always include '1'. Thus, HCO31- would beHCO3^1-.
Answers are case sensitive. Spaces are ignored, so insert them asyou wish for readability.

Use all lower case letters to write none if no reactionoccurs.
Reactants Cation + Anion -> Precipitate or none
a) FeSO4 + K3PO4
b) CuSO4 + Pb(ClO4)2
c) (NH4)2CO3 + Ca(ClO4)2
d) CsOH + FeCl3

Explanation / Answer

(a) FeSO4 + K3PO4 ----->     The two possible products are Fe3(PO4)2 andK2SO4 . Phosphates are insoluble while sulfates of potassium aresoluble. Hence the net ionic equation is: Fe^2+  +   PO4^3-   -------> Fe3(PO4)2   (ppt) . (b) CuSO4 + Pb(ClO4)2 Lead sulfate is insoluble Pb^2+    +  SO4^2-     ------->   PbSO4 . (c) (NH4)2CO3 +   Ca(ClO4)2 calcium carbonate is insoluble Ca^2+    +   CO3^2-    ------>   CaCO3 . (d) CsOH + FeCl3 Ferric hydroxide is insoluble Fe^3+    +    3 OH^1-   ---------> Fe(OH)3
