Question

When aqueous solutions of AgNO3 and KI are mixed, the balanced net ionic equation is

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Ag⁺ (aq) + I¯ (aq) —> AgI (s)

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the dissociation equation for aqueous AgNO₃ and KI.

Aqueous AgNO₃ and KI will dissociate in solution as follow:

AgNO₃ (aq) —> Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃¯ (aq)

KI (aq) —> K⁺(aq) + I¯(aq)

Aqueous AgNO₃ and KI will react as follow:

AgNO₃ (aq) + KI (aq) —>

Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃¯ (aq) + K⁺ (aq) + I¯(aq) —> AgI (s) + K⁺ (aq) + NO₃¯ (aq)

Cancel out the spectator ions (i.e ions that appears on both sides of the equation) to obtain the net ionic equation. The spectator ions are K⁺ and NO₃¯.

Thus, the net ionic equation is:

Ag⁺ (aq) + I¯ (aq) —> AgI (s)
