The equation for a chemical reaction can be written in multiple ways. The most frequent method is to write molecular equations which show all substances as compounds or elements. Complete ionic and net ionic equations provide a more accurate representation of the reaction because they show the dissociation of substances in water. A complete ionic equation shows all aqueous substances as their component ions while a net ionic equation omits any spectator ions.
Select the net ionic equation for the reaction between HCl and NaOH.
- HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)
- No reaction
- H+(aq) + OH−(aq) → H2O(l)
- H+(aq) + Cl−(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH−(aq) → H2O(l) + Cl−(aq) + Na+(aq)
- HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl−(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH−(aq)

Precipitation reactions are the result of two aqueous substances reacting to form a solid product.
Identify the solid product formed, if any, from the reaction of (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 and Mg(NO 3 ) 2 .
- Mg(NO3)2
- NH4NO3
- No solid product formed.
- MgCO3

MgCO 3
Ex.
The solid product formed is MgCO 3 .
To find the potential products, swap the anions between the cations. The cation from the first reactant is paired with the anion from the second, while the cation from the second reactant is paired with the anion from the first.
The reaction between the two substances is:
Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ( aq ) + (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ( aq ) → MgCO 3 ( s ) + 2 NH 4 NO 3 ( aq )
MgCO 3 is the only insoluble compound, so it will precipitate from the solution. NH 4 NO 3 is soluble in water, so it will not precipitate. Mg(NO 3 ) 2 and (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 are reactants, so they can’t be products, and they are soluble in water.

Oxidation-reduction reactions are more commonly referred to as “redox reactions.” Redox reactions involve the simultaneous reduction and oxidation of two different chemicals due to the transfer of electrons.
Reduction occurs when an atom has gained electrons, resulting in a decrease in the oxidation state of that atom. The decrease in oxidation state occurs due to the gain of negatively charged electrons.
Oxidation occurs when an atom has lost electrons, resulting in an increase in the oxidation state of that atom. The increase in oxidation state occurs due to the loss of negatively charged electrons.
By comparing the oxidation states before and after a reaction occurs, you can determine if a substance was reduced or oxidized.
In the reaction shown below, which substance is reduced?
Mg 0 ( s ) + Zn 2+ ( aq ) → Mg 2+ ( aq ) + Zn 0 ( s )
- Mg0(s)
- Zn2+(aq)
- Mg2+(aq)

Zn 2+ ( aq )
Ex.
Zn2+(aq) is reduced to Zn 0 ( s ), as the oxidation state decreases from +2 to 0.
Mg 0 ( s ) + Zn 2+ ( aq ) → Mg 2+ ( aq ) + Zn 0 ( s )
A decrease in the oxidation state occurs due to reduction, as electrons are gained, while an increase in oxidation state is due to oxidation, as electrons are lost. Mg 0 ( s ) is oxidized to Mg 2+ ( aq ) in this reaction.
Many ionic compounds, or salts, such as sodium chloride, are water-soluble. These compounds are referred to as soluble salts. When a soluble salt is placed in water, the ions separate or dissociate, creating a solution.
There are a number of ionic compounds that are not water-soluble. These compounds are referred to as insoluble salts, as they either stay as a solid, or form a solid, when placed in water.
Salts are soluble or insoluble based on interactions between the solute and the solvent. The solubility rules are arbitrary empirical rules based on a test such as ability to form a 0.1 M solution at 25 °C, or ability to dissolve one gram of solute in one liter of water. Many insoluble substances will dissolve less than the amount required to be considered soluble. We study these substances in chapter 18.
In using these solubility rules, for the salt to be considered water-soluble, the cation or anion must be able to dissolve in water.
The table of solubility rules provided here could differ from the table listed in your text. Using the table provided here, please answer the following question: Which of the following salts is insoluble in water?

CaSO 4

MgBr 2 is soluble because halides are soluble. KNO 3 is soluble because it contains both soluble ions, potassium ion, and nitrate. BaS is soluble; although sulfides are generally insoluble, the compound formed with the barium ion, Ba 2+ , is an exception.
Electrolytes are substances that are able to conduct an electrical current, as they form ions when they dissolve in water.

- Potassium iodide, KI
- Acetic acid, CH3COOH
- Glucose, C6H12O6
- Methanol, CH3OH

Acetic acid is a weak electrolyte as it is a weak acid. Methanol and glucose are both nonelectrolytes as they are both covalent compounds.
