Question:

Write the balanced net ionic equation for the following reaction.

{eq}\rm NH_3 {/eq} and {eq}\rm K_2C_2O_4 {/eq} added to {eq}\rm Ca^{2+} {/eq}

Chemical Reactions:

The chemical reaction is written with the help of reactants and products. The other physical parameters like temperature and pressure can be shown in the reaction.

Answer and Explanation: 1

  • The chemical formula for ammonia is {eq}N{H_3} {/eq}.
  • The chemical formula for potassium oxalate is {eq}{K_2}{C_2}{O_4} {/eq} .
  • The reaction of potassium oxalate with calcium in a basic medium forms calcium oxalate, and potassium combines with ammonia.

The molecular reaction is given below.

{eq}C{a^{2 + }}\left( {aq} \right) + N{H_3}\left( {aq} \right) + {K_2}{C_2}{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) \to Ca{C_2}{O_4}\left( s \right) + N{H_3}{K_2}\left( {aq} \right) {/eq}


The complete ionic equation is given as follows;

{eq}C{a^{2 + }}\left( {aq} \right) + N{H_3}\left( {aq} \right) + 2{K^ + }\left( {aq} \right) + {C_2}{O_4}^{2 - }\left( {aq} \right) \to Ca{C_2}{O_4}\left( s \right) + N{H_3}\left( {aq} \right) + 2{K^ + }\left( {aq} \right) {/eq}


The net ionic equation is written by eliminating the spectator's ions. It is given as follows;

{eq}C{a^{2 + }}\left( {aq} \right) + {C_2}{O_4}^{2 - }\left( {aq} \right) \to Ca{C_2}{O_4}\left( s \right) {/eq}
