what is the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of cobalt (II) sulfate and potassium carbonate are combined

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Solution∻ ‖ 1 ⋮ **Identify the reactants**: The reactants in this precipitation reaction are cobalt (II) sulfate ($ ext{CoSO}_4$) and potassium carbonate ($ ext{K}_2 ext{CO}_3$). ‖ ‖ 2 ⋮ **Write the balanced molecular equation**: The balanced molecular equation for the reaction is: $$ ext{CoSO}_4 (aq) + ext{K}_2 ext{CO}_3 (aq) ightarrow ext{CoCO}_3 (s) + ext{K}_2 ext{SO}_4 (aq)$$ ‖ ‖ 3 ⋮ **Write the complete ionic equation**: The complete ionic equation shows all the ions present in the reaction: $$ ext{Co}^{2+} (aq) + ext{SO}_4^{2-} (aq) + 2 ext{K}^+ (aq) + ext{CO}_3^{2-} (aq) ightarrow ext{CoCO}_3 (s) + 2 ext{K}^+ (aq) + ext{SO}_4^{2-} (aq)$$ ‖ ‖ 4 ⋮ **Identify the spectator ions**: The spectator ions are $ ext{K}^+$ and $ ext{SO}_4^{2-}$, as they do not participate in the formation of the precipitate. ‖ ‖ 5 ⋮ **Write the net ionic equation**: The net ionic equation removes the spectator ions and shows only the ions that form the precipitate: $$ ext{Co}^{2+} (aq) + ext{CO}_3^{2-} (aq) ightarrow ext{CoCO}_3 (s)$$ ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ The net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction is: $$ ext{Co}^{2+} (aq) + ext{CO}_3^{2-} (aq) ightarrow ext{CoCO}_3 (s)$$ ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Net ionic equations show only the ions that participate in the formation of the precipitate. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ In a precipitation reaction, the net ionic equation is derived by removing the spectator ions from the complete ionic equation, leaving only the ions that form the solid precipitate. ⚹◊What are the chemical formulas for cobalt (II) sulfate and potassium carbonate?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
