Question

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) --> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

What are the spectator ions for this equation?

Answer 1

if we expand this to the complete ionic equation:
\[Ag ^{+} + NO _{3}^{+} + Na ^{+} + Cl ^{-} \rightarrow AgCl (s) + Na ^{+} + NO _{3^{+}}\]

Answer 2

we can cancel NO3 and Na because they are on both sides of the arrow. we are left with Ag and Cl, which form AgCl
\[Ag ^{+} + Cl ^{-} \rightarrow AgCl(s)\]

Answer 3

It should read:

\(Ag ^+ + NO _3^- + Na ^+ + Cl ^- \rightarrow AgCl_{(S)} + Na ^+ + NO _3^-\)

Answer 4

You're right. My bad on the typos.Thank you.
