Question

chemistry The following unbalanced molecular equation describes the reaction that takes place when a solution of calcium nitrate is contacted with a solution of sodium carbonate: Ca(NO_3)_2(aq) + Na_2CO_3(aq) rightarrow CaCO_3(s) + NaNO_3(aq) The corresponding balanced net ionic equation is: The following unbalanced molecular equation describes the reaction that takes place when a solution of barium chloride is contacted with a solution of potassium phosphate: BaCl_2(aq) + K3PO_4(aq) rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(s) + KCl(aq) The corresponding balanced net ionic equation is: The following unbalanced molecular equation describes the reaction that takes place when a solution of barium hydroxide is contacted with a solution of nitric acid: Ba(OH)_2(aq) + HNO_3(aq) rightarrow Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) + H_2O(l) The corresponding ionic equation is:

Explanation / Answer

Q.1)

Balanced equation

Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) -- > CaCO3 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)

Total net ionic equation :

Species in the aqueous medium are split.

Ca2+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq) + 2 Na2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) -- > CaCO3 (s) + 2 NO3- (aq) + 2 Na2+ (aq)

Net ionic equation :

Spectator ions are cancelled from both side

Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) -- > CaCO3 (s)

Q2)

3 BaCl2 (aq) +2 K3PO4 (aq) ----- > Ba3(PO4)2 (s) +6 KCl (aq)

Total ionic equation

3 Ba2+ (           aq) + 6 Cl- + 6 K + (aq) + 2 PO3 3- (aq) --- > Ba3(PO4)2 (s) + 6Cl- + 6 K + (aq)

Net ionic equation

3 Ba2+ (           aq) + 2 PO3 3- (aq) --- > Ba3(PO4)2 (s)

Q3.

Ba(OH)2 (aq) +2 HNO3 (aq) --- > Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)

Total ionic

Ba2+ (aq) +2 OH –(aq)+ 2 H+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq) --- > Ba2+ (aq) + 2 OH – (aq) + 2H2O (l)

Net ionic equation

2 OH- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) -- > 2 H2O (l)
