- Ionic Equations
- Ions in solutions behave independently- and this includes when they are involved in chemical reactions.
- If two solutions react to form a solid, a precipitation reaction is said to have occured.
- e.g. Ag +(aq) + NO3 -(aq) + Na +(aq) + Br -(aq) -> AgBr(s) +Na +(aq) + NO3 -(aq)
- Na +(aq) and NO3 -(aq) are spectator ions (they are not involved in the reaction and) and are not included in the ionic equation.
- Ag +(aq) + Br -(aq) -> AgBr(s)
- Na +(aq) and NO3 -(aq) are spectator ions (they are not involved in the reaction and) and are not included in the ionic equation.
- Neutralisation reactions can also be summarised using ionic equations.
- When an acid and an alkali react, a covalent compund is formed.
