When an aqueous solution of silver nitrate is
mixed with an aqueous solution of potassium
chloride which are the spectator ions?


Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]K^{+}[/tex] and [tex]NO_{3}^{-}[/tex]

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) ==> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

With all the ions, it is

[tex]Ag^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]NO_{3} ^{-}[/tex](aq) + [tex]K^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex](aq)  ==> AgCl(s) +

[tex]K^{+}[/tex] and [tex]NO_{3} ^{-}[/tex] do not change, so they are the spectator ions and are removed

The ionic equation is:

[tex]Ag^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex](aq) ==> AgCl(s)
