Find the Net ionic Equation of: Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) --> ???
The net ionic equation for the reaction between Ba(NO3)2 and Pb(NO3)2 is not possible because no insoluble product would be produced.
Net ionic equation is possible for the reaction between BaCl2 (aq) and Pb(NO3)2 (aq) because PbCl2 (s) is produced as an insoluble product in the reaction.
BaCl2 (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) -----> PbCl2 (s) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq)
Ionic equation : Ba2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) + Pb2+ (aq) + 2NO3- (aq) ------> PbCl2 (s) + Ba2+ (aq) + 2NO3- (aq)
Net ionic equation : Pb2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) -----> PbCl2 (s)
Net ionic equation is possible for the reaction between Na2SO4 (aq) and Ba(NO3)2 (aq) because BaSO4 (s) is produced as an insoluble product in the reaction.
Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) -----> BaSO4 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)
Ionic equation : Ba2+ (aq) + 2NO3- (aq) + 2Na+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) -----> BaSO4 (s) + 2Na+ (aq) + 2NO3- (aq)
Net ionic equation : Ba2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) -----> BaSO4 (s)
