Answer to Question #56270 in General Chemistry for Taylor

Question

Enter the net ionic equation, including phases, for the reaction of AgNO3(aq) with K2SO4(aq).

Answer 1

Upon mixing the solutions of silver nitrate and potassium sulfate, a white precipitate of Ag2SO4 is produced. The general reaction looks as follows:
2AgNO₃(aq) + K₂SO₄(aq) = Ag₂SO₄(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)
And the net ionic equation, including phases is:
2Ag+(aq) + SO₄^2-(aq) = Ag₂SO₄(s)
