Ionic Equations

[Madison Kiggins 1E]

Hello,
I noticed that in a couple of problems in the textbook, we were asked to write the net ionic equation for a given reaction. I vaguely remember doing that in high school, but am a bit rusty on it. Does anyone have any tips on how to build these equations?

To write a net ionic equation, first take the full chemical equation and split any aqueous terms into their ions. This is because in solution, aqueous substances will dissociate. Make sure that you don't split any solids, liquids, or gases into their ions. Then, cancel any ions that appear on both sides of the equation. Your simplified form should be the net ionic equation.

You can use a solubility table to determine if a compound will dissociate into its ions of not. If a compound is deemed soluble (it dissolves into ions in water). If a compounds is deemed insoluble (its does not dissolve into ions in water.) Here's one I've found of great use: https://www2.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/dbaril ... _table.pdf

Does anyone know if we will have to know how to write ionic equations for Midterm 1 since we haven't talked about this in class?

I hope not, I'm guessing since it wasn't even a focus in lecture, then he likely isn't going to test us on it. He's most likely going to test us on things that were emphasized in class like balancing equations, empirical formulas, molarity, dilution, etc

I also was wondering if the last four problems on the achieve homework are going to be on our midterm.

No we won't have to know this. I'm pretty sure the midterm content stopped at the end of last weeks lectures.
