Interpretation: The molecular equation, complete ionic equation and net ionic equation representing the formation of precipitate by the mixing of given solutions are to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The chemical equation in which molecules of reactants and products are present is termed as molecular equation. The substance that are strong electrolytes will get dissociate into their constituent ions. Therefore, the chemical equation which contains ions only is termed as complete ionic equation. The equation obtained by the elimination of spectator ions from the complete ionic equation is known as net ionic equation.
