Title: What is the net ionic equation for the reaction of solid barium carbonate and hydrogen bromide in aqueous solu? Post by: lespink29 on Nov 7, 2012 Here is the molecular formula, thanks
BaCO3(s) + 2HBr(aq) ? BaBr2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) Title: What is the net ionic equation for the reaction of solid barium carbonate and hydrogen bromide in aq Post by: davidjang93 on Nov 7, 2012 BaCO3(s) + 2HBr(aq) --> BaBr2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Break up the aqueous molecules into ions: BaCO3(s) + 2H^(+)(aq) + 2Br^(-)(aq) --> Ba^(2+)(aq) + 2Br^(-)(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) Cancel out the spectator ions (the ions that appear on both sides) BaCO3(s) + 2H^(+)(aq) ? Ba^(2+)(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) There's your net ionic equation :) |
