Interpretation:
The difference between complete ionic equation and a net ionic equation needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Ionic equation is used by chemists to show the
Answer to Problem 52SSC
Net ionic equation can be obtained from complete ionic equation by removing all the spectator ions.
Explanation of Solution
The difference between complete ionic equation and net ionic equation is as follows:
Complete ionic equation | Net ionic equation |
This equation shows every particle in a solution according to their existence. | This equation shows only those particles participating in the reaction. |
All the ions are shown. | Spectator ions are not shown, only precipitated ions are shown. |
The net ionic equation has fewer substances than the complete ionic equation because it shows only the reacting particles.
