We’re being asked to identify the Molecular equation, Complete ionic equation and Net ionic equation when Cadmium chloride+sodium sulfide are mixed together.
We’re going to determine the spectator ions using the following steps:
Step 1. Write the overall balanced reaction
Step 2. Write the total or full ionic equation
Step 3. Identify the spectator ions
Step 4. Identify net ionic equation
Step 1. Write the overall balanced reaction
Reactants:
• Cadmium chloride → CdCl₂(aq) → aqueous → will break up into its ions
▪ Cd2+
▪ Cl → Group 7A → -1 charge → Cl-
Write the molecular equation, complete ionic equation, and Net ionic equation for the following:
(a) Cadmium chloride+sodium sulfide
