![**Question:**
What are the spectator ions in the following reaction:
\[ 2\text{NaNO}_3 + \text{CuCl}_2 \rightarrow \text{Cu(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 2\text{NaCl} \]
**Options:**
1. Na\(^+\), NO\(_3^-\), Cu\(^{2+}\), Cl\(^-\)
2. Cu\(^{2+}\), NO\(_3^-\)
3. Na\(^+\), Cu\(^{2+}\), NO\(_3^-\)
4. Na\(^+\), Cl\(^-\)
5. Cu\(^{2+}\), Cl\(^-\)
**Explanation:**
Spectator ions are ions that do not participate in the chemical reaction and remain unchanged on both the reactant and product sides of a chemical equation. In the given reaction, identify ions that appear in the same form on both sides to determine the spectator ions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdda07105-6c0d-411b-9881-d7cffef7fce9%2Fd25801c6-b1ec-441e-a6a4-ccf3370803d6%2F1jfipf7_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
