Question

When aqueous solutions of potassium carbonate and silver(i) nitrate are combined, solid silver(i) carbonate and a solution of potassium nitrate are formed. the net ionic equation for this reaction is:?

Answer 1

K₂CO₃(aq) + 2AgNO₃(aq) = Ag₂CO₃(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)

2K⁺ + CO₃²⁻ + 2Ag⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ = Ag₂CO₃ + 2K⁺ + 2NO₃⁻

CO₃²⁻ + 2Ag⁺ = Ag₂CO₃
