Chemical Reactions: Keeping Track: Precipitation Reactions Sodium Carbonate Calcium Chloride Calcium Carbonate Sodium Chloride Na 2 CO 3(aq) + CaCl 2(aq) CaCO 3(s) + 2 NaCl (aq) Molecular Equation Total Ionic Equation Na + (aq) + Na + (aq) + CO 3(aq) + Ca 2+ (aq) + 2 Cl - (aq) + 2 Na + (aq) + 2 Cl - (aq) CaCO 3(s) Net Ionic Equation + CO 3(aq) Ca 2+ (aq) CaCO 3(s) Spectator ions: Present but not changed during the reaction. Spectator ions removed. Were the spectator ions REALLY necessary??? Yes, they were originally partnered with the carbonate and calcium ions.
