5 - Net Ionic Equations WS 2
Recall:
Molecular compounds (except acids) are never dissociated into IONS.
Treat any acid/base reactions as double replacement reactions.
All acids are soluble but only STRONG ACIDS will ionize completely in water.
STRONG ACIDS to remember are:
o HClO4(aq) (perchloric acid) o H2SO4(aq) (sulphuric acid)
o HCl (aq) (hydrochloric acid) o HBr(aq) (hydrobromic acid)
o HI(aq) (hydroiodic acid) o HNO3(aq) (nitric acid)
For each of the following reactions, show all three types of reaction equations (complete chemical equation,
dissociated ionic equation with crossed off spectator ions, and overall net ionic equation).
Example: A solution of lead (II) nitrate reacts with a sodium iodide solution.
Balanced Chemical Rxn:
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaI(aq) -> 2NaNO3(aq) + PbI2(s)
1. A solution of nickel (II) chloride is added to a beaker containing sodium carbonate solution.
10. When a can of pop is opened, the pressure is released, and aqueous carbonic acid begins to decompose
into carbon dioxide gas and water. (FYI in your body, most of the CO2 that is a cellular waste product and
will be eventually exhaled out your lungs is carried as carbonic acid in your blood stream, using this very
same reaction. Why would it be a bad idea to have acidic blood? How does the body fix this problem?
Keep this question in mind for our next unit!!)
