Ionic Equations Most ionic compound dissociate (or break apart) when dissolved in water to form its component ions For example: NaCl (aq) really looks like Na + (aq) and Cl - (aq)
Soluble Vs. Precipitate Soluble means that the compound breaks down into its ions in water Ex) NaCl is soluble so it forms Na + and Cl - Insoluble means that the compound doesn’t break down in water
Precipitate Reactions In double replacement reactions, often one of the product will be insoluble The insoluble product is referred to as a precipitate.

Ionic Equations Continued To write a Complete Ionic Equation: Write the aqueous substances as ions (leave any substances in gas, liquids, & solids alone) Example: AgNO 3 (aq) + NaCl (aq) AgCl (s) + NaNO 3 (aq)
Spectator Ions Spectator Ions-Ions that are not directly involved in a reaction Spectator ions show up on both sides of the equation Spectator Ions cancel out
NET Ionic Equations Net Ionic Equation-Indicate the particles that actually take part in a reaction The Net Ionic Equation does NOT include spectator ions Net Ionic Equations must be balanced according to atoms and charge

The net ionic equation is constructed from the ionic equation:
No 3 - and Na + are not participating in the reaction
net ionic equation Ag + ( aq ) + Cl - ( aq )
net ionic equation Ag + ( aq ) + Cl - ( aq ) Ag + and Cl - are reacting to form
net ionic equation Ag + ( aq ) + Cl - ( aq ) Ag + and Cl - are reacting to form
