Net Ionic Equation

Question

1.Full Equation: NH₄Cl (aq) + NaOH (aq) ----> NaCl (aq) + NH₄NO₃

Full Ionic Equation: N^3- + H₄⁺ + Cl^- + Na⁺ +OH^- ----> Na⁺ + Cl^- +N^3- + H₄^- + NO₃^-

Net Ionic Equation: OH^- ----> NO₃^- ?

2.Full equation: HNO₃ + AgNO₃ ----> AgNO₂ + HNO₄

Full Ionic Equation: H⁺ + NO₃^- + Ag⁺ + NO₃^- -----> Ag⁺ +NO₂^- + H⁺ + NO₄^-

Net ionic equation: Not reactive ?

Where am I going wrong with the Net ionic equation?

Answer 1

Actually, I believe you might have written the 2nd equation incorrectly as there is No Reaction between silver nitrate & nitric acid. As for the 1st reaction, you have an incorrect Full Ionic Reaction. Ammonium chloride & sodium hydroxide have only two ionic species each (which is the case of ALL ionic compounds.) So the Full equation is simply NH₄⁺_(aq) + Cl^-_(aq) + Na⁺_(aq) + OH^-_(aq) → which yield the exact same species because no precipitates, gases, or liquids are formed. Hence, everything cancels out & no net ionic equation exists!
