Net Ionic Equations
Write the complete and net ionic equations for the following reactions.
If only the reactants are given, predict the products and balance the equation first.
Copy these steps into your notebook:
Step 1: Complete and balance the equation if necessary
Step 2: Everything that’s aqueous and ionic should dissociate, so break up all those
compounds into ions, leaving anything that doesn’t dissociate whole
Step 3: Look for the ions that end up on both sides of the equation. They don’t do anything.
Those are spectator ions. Cross them off.
Step 4: Write your final equation, including all substances that did not dissociate and the ions
that participated in the reaction. This is the net ionic equation.
1. Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)  PbCl2 (s) + KNO3 (aq) (See the solid product that came from 2
aqueous solutions? This is a precipitation reaction!)
