An aqueous solution of sodium sulfate is allowed to react with an aqueous solution of calciumnitrate.The complete ionic equation contains which of the following species (when balanced in stan-dard form)?a.2Na+aq)b.2SO42-(aq)c.3Ca2+(aq)d.NO3-(aq)e.K+(aq)

Respuesta :

Answer : The correct option is, (a) [tex]2Na^+[/tex]

Explanation :

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and present in an aqueous are represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

[tex]Na_2SO_4(aq)+Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CaSO_4(s)[/tex]

The complete ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

[tex]2Na^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Ca^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq)+2NO^{3-}(aq)+CaSO_4(s)[/tex]

In this equation the species present are, [tex]2Na^+,2NO_3^-,Ca^{2+}\text{ and }SO_4^{2-}[/tex] are the spectator ions.

Hence, the complete ionic equation contains specie is [tex]2Na^+[/tex]
