.
Explanation:
Start by identifying the solubility of each species in the original chemical equation:
. (Balanced.)
,
, and
are all soluble in water.
is not soluble in water.
Rewrite species that exist as ions as the corresponding ions to obtain an ionic equation for this reaction. Those species include:
Soluble ionic compounds (
,
, and
.)Strong acids and bases. (Not in this question.)
In particular:
will be rewritten as
.
will be rewritten as
.
will be rewritten as
.
Species that do not ionize in water ( in this question) should not be rewritten. Hence, the ionic equation will be:
.
Eliminate ions that appear on both sides of the equation to obtain a net ionic equation. In this ionic equation, those ions include:
Two
ions, andTwo
ions.
Hence, the net ionic equation will be:
.
