Net Ionic Equations and Solubility Rules

These flashcards cover key concepts regarding net ionic equations and solubility rules based on the provided lecture notes.

Spectator Ions

Ions in a chemical reaction that do not change and are excluded from the net ionic equation.

Net Ionic Equation

An equation that includes only the ions that participate in a chemical reaction, excluding spectator ions.

Solubility Rules

Guidelines to determine whether an ionic compound will be soluble or insoluble in water based on its ions.

Group I Ions

Ions such as Li+, Na+, and K+ that are generally soluble in water without exceptions.

Nitrate Ion (NO3-)

An ion that is always soluble in water, without exceptions.

Acetate Ion (CH3COO-)

An ion that is soluble in water with no exceptions.

Ammonium Ion (NH4+)

An ion that is soluble in water, with no exceptions.

Chlorate Ion (ClO3-)

An ion that is soluble in water without exceptions.

Phosphate Ion (PO43-)

An ion that is generally insoluble in water, with exceptions for Group I and NH4+.

Hydroxide Ion (OH-)

An ion that is typically insoluble, with exceptions for Group I, NH4+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Sr2+.

Sulfide Ion (S2-)

An ion that is typically insoluble, except for Group I and NH4+.

Carbonate Ion (CO32-)

An ion that is generally insoluble in water, except for Group I and NH4+.
