dentify the spectator ions in the following complete ionic equation.
Ba2+(aq)+2I−(aq)+2Na +(aq)+SO2−4(aq)→BaSO4(s)+2I−(aq)+2Na+(aq)

spectator ions are the ones that do not participate in the chemical reaction and therefore remain unchanged.
notice that Ba2+ and SO2-4 somehow combined to make BaSO4 while the I- and Na+ ions remain unaffected before and after the arrow. therefore they are said to be spectating
OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):
ok
OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):
so answer is ba2+, SO2-4
OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):
sorry I- and Na+
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes I- and Na+

can you help me with one more
OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):
A beaker of nitric acid is neutralized with calcium hydroxide.
Write a balanced molecular equation for this reaction.
OpenStudy (toxicsugar22):
is this it 2HNO3(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) --> Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its balanced and everything ^_^
