Chapter 4, Problem 91RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced net ionic reaction for the following reactions is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

The reactions in which only elements, compounds and ions are directly involved in the chemical reaction is called the net ionic reaction.

This type of equation is balanced by considering both charge and number of atoms.

Balancing of a chemical reaction by mass means ensuring that the number of elements on each side of the reactionis equal and, balancing by charge means ensuring that the overall charge on both sides of the reaction is the same.
