What is the net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous potassium chloride?
A) AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)
B) Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)
C) K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) → KNO3(s)
D) Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) → AgCl(s) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
AgNO3(aq), KCl(aq), and KNO3(aq) are strong electrolytes and so the ionic equation is Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq) → AgCl(s) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
K+(aq) and NO3-(aq) are both spectator ions and are eliminated to yield the net ionic: Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)
question about this one why is B the answer instead of C. Whats deciding that AgCl will join making the others spectators instead of KNO3 joining and leaving ag and cl as spectators?
