In order to write balanced complete ionic and net ionic equations for each reaction, we must first have a balanced formula equation.
00:11
Although the chemical reactions are provided, some of them are not balanced.
00:15
So we need to be aware of that before we proceed to writing the ionic and then the net ionic equation.
00:25
Here's the first reaction.
00:28
Hcl with lithium hydroxide will produce water and lithium chloride.
00:32
It is balanced as is.
00:34
Now to write the complete ionic equation.
00:38
Anything that is aqueous that will separate completely into ions needs to be written as ions.
00:45
H .c .l is a strong acid, so it will separate into h plus and cl minus.
00:50
Lithium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will separate into lithium ions and hydroxide an ions.
00:57
Water is not an ionic compound.
00:59
It stays together as h2o liquid.
01:02
Lithium chloride, however, according to solubility, rules is soluble, so it separates into lithium ion and chloride an ion.
01:12
This second equation is the complete ionic equation.
01:19
Once we get rid of the spectator ions that are common to both sides, chloride and lithium, what is left is what we call the net ionic equation.
01:31
Then we have magnesium sulfide reacting with copper two chloride to produce copper 2 sulfide, that's a solid, and magnesium chloride.
01:45
As written, it is balanced, so now we can separate all of the ionic compounds that are soluble into their corresponding ions.
01:53
Magnesium sulfide gives us a magnesium 2 plus and a sulfide 2 minus.
01:59
Copper 2 chloride gives us 1 copper 2 plus and 2cl minuses.
02:05
Copper 2 sulfide, according to solubility rules, is insoluble, so it stays together as a precipitate as a solid, but magnesium chloride is soluble, so we get a magnesium 2 plus and 2cl minuses.
02:20
This is a complete ionic equation.
02:23
Once we cancel the spectator ions that are common to both sides, magnesium and the two chlorides, what is left is then the net ionic equation.
02:34
The next one is sodium hydroxide reacting with acetic acid to produce water and sodium acetate.
02:43
It is balanced as written, so we can now proceed to the complete ionic equation...
