Balancing Question

Question

Balance the reaction‎‎‎‎‎‎, write the total‎‎‎‎‎‎ and‎‎‎ net‎‎‎ i‎‎‎onic equa‎‎‎‎tion

Strontium bromide reacts with ammonium sulfate

Answer 1

strontium bromide = SrBr₂

ammonium sulfate = (NH₄)₂SO₄

Double replacement reaction:

SrBr₂(aq) + (NH₄)₂SO₄(aq) ==> SrSO₄(s) + 2NH₄Br(aq) ... balanced molecular equation

Total ionic equation:

Sr²⁺(aq) + 2Br^-(aq) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) + SO₄^2-(aq) ==> SrSO₄(s) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) + 2Br^-(aq)

Net ionic equation:

Sr²⁺(aq) + SO₄^2-(aq) ==> SrSO₄(s)
