the spectator ions

Question

________ + ________ → ________ + ________

Answer 1

Write and balance the molecular equation:

Zn(s) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) ==> Pb(s) + Zn(NO₃)₂(aq)

Write the total ionic equation:

Zn(s) + Pb²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq) ==> Pb(s) + Zn²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq)

Write the net ionic equation:

Zn(s) + Pb²⁺(aq) ==> Pb(s) + Zn²⁺(aq)

Spectator ion are:

NO₃^- ions (nitrate anions)
