Net Ionic Equations Worksheet

Write balanced chemical equations for dissolving the following compounds in water:
1. Solid sodium chloride
NaCl(s) -> NaCl(aq) -> Na^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)

2. Solid barium nitrate

Ba^2+[aq] + 2(NO3)^-[aq]

3. Solid magnesium hydroxide

Mg(OH)2[s] -> Mg^+2[s] + 2(OH)^-[s]

4. Gaseous hydrochloric acid

HCl(g) -> H^+(g) + Cl^-(g)

5. Solid calcium phosphate

Ca3(PO4)2[s] -> 3Ca^2+[s] + 2(PO4)^3-[s]

6. Solid iron (III) sulfide

Fe2S3[s] -> 2Fe^3+[s] + 3S^2-[s]

(Sulfides are generally not soluble so I wrote this equation assuming it was solid.)
7. Gaseous carbon dioxide (Hint: Carbon dioxide will form carbonic acid first then decomposes into ions)
H2CO3 = 2H^3+[aq] + CO3^2-[g]

Write balanced chemical equations and then net ionic equations for the following reactions:
8. Aqueous sodium sulfate and aqueous barium chloride
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 = BaSO4 + 2 NaCl

Ba^2+ [aq] + SO4^2- [aq] -> BaSO4[s]

9. Aqueous lithium bromide and aqueous silver nitrate

AgNO3 + LiBr = AgBr + LiNO3

Ag^+[aq] + Br^-[aq] -> AgBr[s]

10. Aqueous lead II acetate and aqueous sodium carbonate

Na2CO3 + Pb(C2H3O2)2 = 2Na(C2H3O2) + PbCO3

Pb^2+[aq] + CO3^2-[aq] = PbCO3[s]

11. Aqueous potassium sulfide and aqueous barium nitrate

Ba(NO3)2 + K2S = BaS + 2 KNO3

There is no NIE since both species are water soluble.

12. Phosphoric acid and ammonium hydroxide

H3PO4 + 3 NH4OH = 3 H2O + (NH4)3PO4

3NH4^+[aq] + 3OH^-[aq] + H3PO4[aq] -> 3NH4^+[aq] + PO4^3-[aq] + 3H2O[l]

3OH^-[aq] + H3PO4[aq] -> PO4^3-[aq] + 3H2O[I]

13. Solid aluminum and hydrochloric acid

2 Al + 6 HCl = 2 AlCl3 + 3 H2

2 Al^+[s] + 6H^+[aq] + 6Cl^-[aq] -> 2Al^3+[s] + 6Cl^-[aq] + 3H2[aq]

2 Al^+[s] -> 6H^+[aq] -> 2A^3+[aq] + 3H2[g]

14. Solid magnesium and aqueous zinc nitrate
Mg + Zn(NO3)2 = Mg(NO3)2 + Zn
Mg^+[s] + Zn^2+[aq] + 2NO^3-[ aq] -> Mg^2+[s] + 2NO^3-[aq] + Zn[s]

Mg[s] + Zn^2+[aq] -> Mg^2+[aq] + Zn[s]

15. Milk of magnesia is an antacid. Its main ingredient is magnesium hydroxide, which neutralizes excess
stomach acid (HCl).
Mg(OH)2 + 2 HCl = MgCl2 + 2 H2O
Mg(OH)2[s] + 2H^+[aq] + 2Cl^-[aq] -> Mg^2+[s] + 2Cl^-[aq] + 2H2O

Mg(OH)2[s] + 2H^+[aq] -> Mg^2+[aq] + 2H2O [l]

16. Chromium compounds often have brilliant colors. When burned, solid ammonium dichromate will
produce solid chromium IV oxide, nitrogen gas and water vapor.
(NH4)2Cr2O7 = Cr2O3 + N2 + 4 H2O

2NH^+4[aq] + CrO4^2-[aq] -> Cr2O3 + N2^+[aq] + 4H2O^-[l]

17. Ammonia gas reacts with oxygen gas when heated to 1000°C to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and
water vapor.

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g)→ 4NO(g)+ 6H2O(aq)

4N^+[g] + 3H^-[g] + 5O2[g] -> 4N^+[g] + O^-[g] + 6H2O[aq]

3H^-[g] + 5O2[g] -> O^-[g] + 6H2O[aq]
