Question

Given the reactants below: 1. Write the products of the reaction, and indicate the physical state of each reactant and product 2. Balance the Equation 3. Write the balanced complete ionic and net ionic equations (with charges). 4. Strike out/highlight the spectator ions. K SO4 (aq) + BaCl20

Answer 1

Solution:

1) Products of the reactions are:

BaSO4 (s) and KCl (aq)

Physical states:

BaSO4 (s) , KCl(aq) , K2SO4 (aq) , BaCl2 (aq)

2) Balanced equation:

K2SO4 ( aq) + BaCl2 (aq) = BaSO4 (s) + 2KCl (aq)

3) Complete ionic equation:

2K+(aq) + SO4^2- (aq) + Ba^2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) = 2K+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + BaSO4 (s)

Net ionic equation:

Ba^2+(aq) + SO4^2- (aq) = BaSO4 (s)

4) Spectator ions:

K+(aq) and Cl- (aq)
