**Writing the Net Ionic Equation for a Precipitation Reaction**

**Instructions:**

Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of **barium hydroxide** and **calcium acetate** are combined. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) for aqueous or (s) for solid. If a box is not needed, leave it blank.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram contains five boxes connected by addition symbols and an arrow pointing down. The layout suggests the sequence in which the reactants and products of the chemical reaction should be entered. 

Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

  1. Box 1: Enter the ionic form of barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) solution.
  2. Box 2: Enter the ionic form of calcium acetate (Ca(C₂H₃O₂)₂) solution.
  3. Box 3: Enter a plus (+) symbol since the reactants combine.
  4. Box 4: Enter the precipitate formed from the combination of Ba²⁺ and C₂H₃O₂⁻ ions.
  5. Box 5: Enter a plus (+) symbol to separate the reactants and products.
  6. Final Box: Enter the spectator ions that remain in solution and do not participate in the precipitation reaction.

By combining Barium Hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) and Calcium Acetate (Ca(C₂H₃O₂)₂) and following the rules for writing ionic and net ionic equations, you can complete the boxes to show the correct chemical reaction products and the state of each substance.

Example Visualization:
```
  Box 1: Ba²⁺(aq)
  Box 2: 2OH⁻(aq)
  +
  Box 3: Ca²⁺(aq)
  Box 4: 2C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq)
  ⇒ 
  Precipitate forms as Ba²⁺(aq) + 2C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq) → Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂(s)
```

Ensure each species is annotated with the appropriate state symbols (aq or s) to clearly indicate their physical states in the reaction.
