When aqueous sodium carbonate is added to barium chloride, the solution turns cloudy white with solid barium
Question:
When aqueous sodium carbonate is added to barium chloride, the solution turns cloudy white with solid barium carbonate. Write the molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations for this reaction.
Strategy First, we will use the nomenclature rules that we presented in Chapter 2 to write formulas for all of the compounds involved. Then, we construct a balanced chemical equation using complete formula units. Next we must identify any strong electrolytes that are present, and we write them as dissociated ions to give the total ionic equation. Finally, to obtain the net ionic equation, we must eliminate any spectator ions from both sides of the equation.
