Chapter 21, Problem 25QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of nitric acid witha solution of $\text{Ca}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ should be written.

Concept introduction:

Net ionic equation is the ionic equation in which reactants are written in the form of ions if they occur as ions in a reaction medium and product form are shown as combination of ions. The charges of ions and each atom in the reaction are balanced.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of nitric acid with

a solid Ag (Silver) should be written.

Concept introduction:

Net ionic equation is the ionic equation in which reactants are written in the form of ions if they occur as ions in a reaction medium and product form are shown as combination of ions. The charges of ions and each atom in the reaction are balanced.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of nitric acid with a solid Cd (Cadmium), where nitrate ion is reduced to ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ should be written.

Concept introduction:

Net ionic equation is the ionic equation in which reactants are written in the form of ions if they occur as ions in a reaction medium and product form are shown as combination of ions. The charges of ions and each atom in the reaction are balanced.
