(a)
Interpretation: The net ionic equations for the given “molecular” reactions using solubility rules are to be stated. The processes that give a clear visual evidence of an ion exchange process are to be identified.
Concept introduction: When an amount of solute completely dissolves in a solvent, then it is called soluble, and when it is does not completely dissolve it is termed insoluble.
Ionic compounds dissociate into their individual ions in aqueous solution.
Some examples of ionic compounds are sodium chloride, potassium nitrate and potassium chloride.
Some solubility rules for ionic compounds are,
- The alkali metal salts are soluble. Examples are Sodium chloride, potassium chloride.
- The salts in which nitrates are present are soluble.
- Ammonium salts are soluble.
- Sulfides, carbonates and phosphates are insoluble but sulfides, carbonates and phosphates of the alkali metal and ammonium sulfides, carbonates and phosphates are soluble.
To determine: The balanced net ionic equations for the given “molecular” reactions.
(b)
To determine: The processes that give a clear visual evidence of an ion exchange process.
