Double displacement reaction → ions swap
Step 1: Complete balanced equation
Complete reaction: Li2CO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → LiCl (aq) + Na2CO3(aq)
Balanced reaction: Li2CO3(aq) + 2 NaCl(aq) → 2 LiCl (aq) + Na2CO3(aq)
Step 2: Total or full ionic equation
• Breaks up into ions in solution:
Predict the products of each of these reactions and write balanced complete ionic and net ionic equations for each. If no reaction occurs, write NOREACTION .
Li2CO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) →
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. Enter noreaction if no precipitate is formed.
