net ionic equations

A net ionic equation shows only the species that participate in a chemical reaction, omitting the spectator ions.

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl.

K₂CO₃ is soluble in water.

A precipitate is a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture during a chemical reaction.

Ag⁺ and Cl^- form a precipitate (AgCl) when mixed.

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Spectator ions are ions that do not participate in the actual chemical reaction and remain unchanged.

Remove the spectator ions from the complete ionic equation to obtain the net ionic equation.

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl^-(aq) → AgCl(s).
