Question

In your lab notebook, write the net ionic equation for any reaction from the 10 below that you would expect to produce a precipitate. If no reaction occurs, write "No Reaction" after reaction the arrow. 1. CuSO_4 (aq) + Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) rightarrow ? 2. CuSO_4(aq) + CuCI_2(aq) rightarrow ? 3. CuSO_4 (aq) + Pb(NO_3)_2 (aq) rightarrow ? 4. CuSO_4(aq) + NaCl(aq)rightarrow ? 5. Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) + CuCl_2(aq) rightarrow ? 6. Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) + Pb(NO_3)2(aq) rightarrow ? 7. Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) + NaCI(aq) rightarrow ? 8. CuCl_2(aq) + Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) rightarrow ? 9. CuCl_2(ag) + NaCI(aq) rightarrow ? 10. Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+NaCl(aq) rightarrow ?

Explanation / Answer

CaSO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq) -- >

a) Molecular reaction:

CaSO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq) -- > Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + BaSO4(s)

( We referred solubility chart in order to check solubility of product formed. From that we could see that barium sulfate is not soluble there is a formation of precipitation of it.)

Total ionic equation:

The species which are in aqueous phase are dissociated into their ions.

Lets show the dissociation,

Ca2+ + SO42- (aq) + Ba2+ (aq) + 2 NO3-   -- > Ca2+ + 2 NO3- + BaSO4(s)

Net ionic equation:

We cancel the similar species (spectator ) from both side.

Ba2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq)   -- > Ca2+ + 2 NO3- + BaSO4(s)
