Ionic Equations

Question 1

How do you create ionic equations?

Answer 1

1. Split aqueous ionic compounds into their ions

2. Cancel out identical species which occur on both sides of the equation

Question 2

What is the ionic equation for Acid + Metal?

Answer 2

2H+(aq) + metal –> metal ion + H2(g)

Question 3

What is the ionic equation for Acid + Metal Oxide?

Answer 3

2H+(aq) + metal oxide –> metal ion + H2O(l)

Question 4

What is the ionic equation for Acid + Metal Carbonate?

Answer 4

2H+(aq) + metal carbonate –> metal ion + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Question 5

What is the ionic equation for Acid + Metal Hydroxide?

Answer 5

H+(aq) + OH-(aq) –> H2O(l)

Question 6

What is the ionic equation for Acid + Ammonia?

Answer 6

H+(aq) + NH3(aq) –> NH4+(aq)
