Question: Two Part Question: Problem: _ _ _ _ AgNO 3 ( aq ) + _ _ _ _ CaI 2 ( aq ) Step 1

Two Part Question:
Problem: ____AgNO3(aq)+____CaI2(aq)
Step 1:
1) Predict products:
a) Explain which species (elements and ions) are present in the reactants. Rewrite elements with a superscript "0" to indicate no charge. Rewrite ionic compounds separated into ions with charges. Include phase labels for all species. Nothing should have coefficients in this step. Subscripts should only be used if they are part of the formula of the element or an individual polyatomic ion. For example, writing "Na+", not "Na2".
b) Repeat step (a) with the products, switching their partners as necessary.
c) Write correct balanced formulas for all products, with phase labels.
2) Balance the molecular equation.
Step 2:
1) Write the complete ionic equation
What splits up? What stays together?
What charges do things have/how do you know/where do you find them?
What is the coefficient on each ion / compound, and how do you know?
What phase does each ion / compound need?
2) Write the net ionic equation
In a separate line, recopy the complete ionic, crossing out any spectator ions.
Finally, write the Net Ionic equation
