Chapter 15, Problem 41QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

A net ionic equation for the reaction of ${\text{Pt}}^{\text{2+}}$ with aqueous ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ in which ${\text{Pt}}^{\text{2+}}$ forms a complex ion needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Net ionic equation is the ionic equation in which reactants are written in the form of ions if they occur as ions in a reaction medium and product form are shown as combination of ions. The charges of ions and each atom in the reaction are balanced.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

A net ionic equation for the reaction with aqueous ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ in which ${\text{Ag}}^{\text{+}}$ forms a precipitate needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Net ionic equation is the ionic equation in which reactants are written in the form of ions if they occur as ions in a reaction medium and product form are shown as combination of ions. The charges of ions and each atom in the reaction are balanced.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

A net ionic equation for the reaction with aqueous ${\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}$ in which $\text{Ni}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{3}}$ dissolves needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Net ionic equation is the ionic equation in which reactants are written in the form of ions if they occur as ions in a reaction medium and product form are shown as combination of ions. The charges of ions and each atom in the reaction are balanced.
