Question:

Consider the reaction when aqueous solutions of copper(II) bromide and chromium(II) nitrate are combined.

Find the net ionic equations for this reaction.

Net Ionic Equations:

A metathesis reaction is driven by the net removal of ions to form a solid, liquid, or gas. In an aqueous solution, we find that precipitation or neutralization reactions are metathesis reactions. The simplest chemical equation that can exhibit the metathesis reaction without the spectator ions is the net ionic equation.

  • By assessing the ions formed from each reagent, we find that no precipitate can be formed and no reaction would take place.
  • The possible products that...
