Concept explainers
Balance the following equations and write the corresponding ionic and net ionic equations (if appropriate):
Interpretation:
The given equations are to be balanced and the corresponding ionic and net ionic equations are to be written.
Concept introduction:
The ionic and net ionic equations can be written using the following steps:
Write the balanced molecular equation along with the state of each substance.
Rewrite the equation as the complete ionic equation showing which compounds are dissociated into ions using the knowledge of solubility rules.
Cancel out the spectator ions on both sides of the equation to get the net ionic equation.

Explanation of Solution
(a)
The balanced molecular equation for the given reaction is as follows:
Write the complete ionic equation for the reaction showing all the dissociated ions
Thus, we get the net ionic equation as
(b)
The balanced molecular equation for the given reaction is as follows:
Write the complete ionic equation for the reaction showing all the dissociated ions
Thus, we get the net ionic equation as
(c)
The balanced molecular equation for the given reaction is as follows:
Write the complete ionic equation for the reaction showing all the dissociated ions
Both the reactants are strong electrolytes and hence dissociate completely. The product formed,
Thus, we get the net ionic equation as
