Question

A net ionic equation is an equation showing only the species that actually change during the reaction. A spectator ion remains unchanged in the reaction and appears on both sides of the equation. A complete ionic equation is a chemical equation showing all of the species as they are actually present in solution. A molecular equation is a chemical equation showing the complete, neutral formulas for every compound in a reaction. All of the statements are true.

Answer 1

Answer:

All of the statements are true

Explanation:

Let's consider a reaction : $HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_{2}O$

Molecular equation of this reaction should be written in terms of neutral and complete form of all compounds.

Molecular equation: $HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_{2}O$

Complete ionic equation is written in terms of constituting ions of each compounds.

Complete ionic equation: $H^{+}+Cl^{-}+Na^{+}+OH^{-}\rightarrow Na^{+}+Cl^{-}+H_{2}O$

Same ions present in both side of complete ionic equation are omitted to write net ionic equation. These ions are called spectator ions.

Here $Na^{+}$ and Cl^{-} are spectator ions.

So, net ionic eqaution: $H^{+}+OH^{-}\rightarrow H_{2}O$

Hence all of the statements are true.
