Net Ionic Equations

•A complete ionic equation is an equation that shows dissolved ionic compounds as dissociated free ions.

11.3

Net Ionic Equations

•Spectator Ion: An ion that appears on both sides of an equation and is not directly involved in the reaction

•Net ionic equation: Equation for a reaction in solution that shows only those particles that are directly involved in the chemical change.

Predicting the Formation of a Precipitate

11.3

•Precipitate: solid that forms and settles out in

a chemical reaction

•You can predict the

formation of a precipitate

by using the general rules for solubility of ionic compounds.
