Answer:
Ba²⁺ + CO₃²⁻ → BaCO₃
Explanation:
A net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction in which you list only the species that are participating in the reaction.
For the reaction:
Ba²⁺ + 2NO₃ + 2Na⁺ + CO₃²⁻ → BaCO₃ + 2Na⁺ + 2NO₃
As you can see, NO₃ and Na⁺ are not participating in the reaction. Thus, net ionic equaation is:
Ba²⁺ + CO₃²⁻ → BaCO₃
Complete Question
Consider the total ionic equation below.
[tex]Ba^{2+} + 2NaO_3^{1 -} + 2Na^{+} + CO_3^{2-} ----> BaCO_3 + 2Na^{+} + 2NO_3^{1-}[/tex]
Which is the net ionic equation for the reaction?
A [tex]Ba^{2+} _{(aq)} + CO_3 ^{2-} _{(aq)} ----> BaCO_3_{(s)}[/tex]
B [tex]2Na^+ + CO_2 ----> Na2CO3[/tex]
C [tex]NO3 + Na ^ + ----> NaNO3[/tex]
D [tex]Ba_2^+ + 2NO3 ----> Ba(NO3)2[/tex]
Answer:
Option A is the correct option
Explanation:
The given ionic equation is
[tex]Ba^{2+} + 2NaO_3^{1 -} + 2Na^{+} + CO_3^{2-} ----> BaCO_3 + 2Na^{+} + 2NO_3^{1-}[/tex]
Looking at this complete ionic equation we see that [tex]Na^{+1} \ and \ NO_3^{1-}[/tex] did not change in the reaction so they will not be included in the net ionic equation so the net ionic equation becomes
[tex]Ba^{2+} _{(aq)} + CO_3 ^{2-} _{(aq)} ----> BaCO_3_{(s)}[/tex]
