Question

Explain what a spectator ion is.

April Berlyoung · Accepted Answer

problems of deep or asks us to explain what a spectator ion is in a spectator. Ion is an eye on that does not participate in a reaction. Does not participate Human, eh? Reaction or xn? Look, look, An example for this. So we have the reaction. Two. Any ridge. This is a Chris less. See you steal too. A Prius yields to. And a CEO a curious waas. See you. Oh, h two solid. Now if we break this up, Uh, iniquitous solution. We&#x27;re going to get two an A plus. Hey, Gris plus two Oh h minus the British plus. See you. Too close. Hey, Chris. Plus to feel minus. Hey, Chris, you know, two an A plus a queer. Us too. CEO minus. Hey, Gris Plus See you. A wage too two solid. Now, the only thing, uh, or how to identify the spectator ions are ones that do not change from the reactant is to the products. And so, in this example, that would be our in a plus. And our CEO minus these two would be the spectator ions. Where is the only thing that actually reacting in this system is the See you too close and the age minus to make this solid

Okay, So in order to understand what a spectator ion is, let&#x27;s look at this chemical reaction into as an example where we have sodium hydroxide reacting with copper to chloride to form sodium chloride and copper hydroxide. So this is the overall chemical equation. We can also show this as an ionic equation, where any time you have a compound in a chorus, solution is going to disassociate into its ionic forms. So you&#x27;re going to have sodium hydroxide is going to associate to form, so audio can I am and hydroxide Ahrons. Copper to chloride is going to disassociate to form copper and chloride Iam&#x27;s. So this is what&#x27;s called the complete Ionic equation, so you can also look at a Net Ionic equation. And so this Net Ionic equation doesn&#x27;t take into consideration your spectator very ions. So you&#x27;re spectator ions are the ions that don&#x27;t participate in your reaction. So these are the irons that, for example, let&#x27;s look att sodium So we have sodium on both sides of our arrow, so we have sodium and sodium, and both are reacting some products that these air spectator ions So these cancel out and our cool ride irons, cancel out. And so once you remove the spectator ions, you can figure out your overall net ionic equation, and you can see that your Net ionic equation doesn&#x27;t include the spectator irons, because the spectator ions are just kind of observing.

So when we&#x27;re talking about spectator ions, the spectator Oops, sorry about that. The spectator ions are the species that are going to be omitted in a net ionic. So the baby, the very things that we cross out in a Net. Ionic organs are considered spectator ions. So if we took sodium hydroxide, which breaks up into N A plus an O. H minus and water and we added it, two hydrochloric acid said, which also breaks up. But it breaks up into hydrogen ions and chloride ions. They would combine to make water and the salt sodium chloride. And since the salt sodium chloride breaks up in tow ions, the&#x27;s ions are present throughout the entire reaction and do not change. It&#x27;s as if they are watching the reaction. Because, remember, Spectators are the people who watch ah, sporting event. It&#x27;s like they are watching the reaction because they are not changing, so these ions would be considered the spectator ions. We would normally cross them out if we were making this into a Net Ionic equation.

and I on is simply an Adam or group of Adam&#x27;s that has fewer or mawr electrons than protons. If it has fewer electrons than it&#x27;s positively charged. It&#x27;s a cat eye on. It has more electrons than protons, and it&#x27;s negatively charged. It&#x27;s an an eye on.

So this question is going to get at what the definition of a spectator ion is. And as I&#x27;m writing the total Ionic equation out, I&#x27;m gonna be talking about this for a little bit. Right. So, um, spectator ions you may think if you&#x27;re gonna draw the connection to, um, the spectator of a sport, let&#x27;s say right spectators of sports don&#x27;t actually play in the sport. Um, but they watch, right? So you can make that same connection when you&#x27;re talking about these chemical reactions. So you&#x27;re gonna notice that I&#x27;m breaking up all of these ionic acquiesced compounds into their respective ions. Right? So I broke up potassium iodide here. If the two positive potassium can ions and two negative iodine and ions both dissolved in solution, it&#x27;s not a solid anymore, right? You&#x27;re in water now, So, um, uh, I&#x27;m gonna be finishing this up. So you noticed that not all of the, um of the eye arms are a qu&#x27;est ce rights. You have one solid product. The potassium started the lead. Iodide is a solid, um, so when you&#x27;re trying to figure out in these double displacement reactions, which ions are the spectator ions you think to yourself? Um, compared to algebra, right? So wish which ions are on both sides of the equation. So which ions would you break the reaction up into the poly atomic ions? Um, and do you follow the scalability rules that were described in chapter eight about which compounds are soluble in water? Um, that&#x27;ll give you an idea on what the spectator ions are, so that when you have the same term on both sides of the equation algebra, you could just cancel amount on both sides, right? So I could do the same thing. So let&#x27;s say these two potassium cata, because I have them in both the products and the reactions. I could do the same thing with these nitrate an ion sw right to the two nitrates that started out as lead nitrate and end up his potassium nitrate. But lead nitrate and potassium nitrate are both Sybil in water, so you still have potassium ions. You still have the nitrate ions, and you have a wet ions until the lead finds the iodide and ions, and you&#x27;re gonna form this insoluble material. The lead iodide, right? So you&#x27;ll notice that not all of the reaction. Not all of the, uh, the ions are spectator ions in this specific reaction. If all the products were Equus, then all if the products and the reactions were all et qu&#x27;est, then you&#x27;d have all of the islands will be spectator ions. No chemistry is happening. You just have to salts mixed in the same solution together. But this reaction is for men. Wed iodide as a solid and insoluble material in water. So, um, the ions that don&#x27;t react the ones that I crossed out bread are you respected her ions? They don&#x27;t do anything in the reaction, they just float around.

So an ion is going to be any Adam that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net charge so we can split these up into two different kinds of high owns and an eye on which is an ill with negative charge and a cat eye on Justin I on with the positive charge, some examples of an ions can be we&#x27;ll ride in the eye on oxygen and then cat ions. Some examples. You have sodium iron so, as you can tell, and I also tend to be from the right side of the periodic table, where most of the non metals are and cat ions are generally found on left side and within the transition. Metals and a lot of periodic tables might include the possible ionization charges in the boxes of the elements. So it&#x27;s easy to find out how many electrons and element is likely to gain or lose
