Practice Problems - Net Ionic Equations

Show total ionic & net ionic results for the following problems. If you end up with only spectator ions, show this with "no reaction". Make sure each equation is balanced before proceeding. You'll find a set of rules for solubility at the end of this tutorial.



Please complete the following reactions, and show the total ionic and net ionic forms of the equation:



Rules for Solubility:

  1. All compounds of Group I and NH4+ are soluble.
  2. All chlorates, nitrates, and acetates are soluble.
  3. All compounds of halogens (except fluorine) and metals are soluble, (except lead, mercury(I), & silver).
  4. All sulfates are soluble, except strontium, barium, lead, calcium, mercury (I), and silver.
  5. Except for rule 1, hydroxides, oxides, carbonates, phosphates, and silicates are insoluble.
  6. Sulfides are all insoluble except for calcium, barium, strontium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and ammonium.
