Question

be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s). if a box is not needed leave it blank. when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and barium chloride are combined, solid barium carbonate and a solution of ammonium chloride are formed. the net ionic equation for this reaction is: (use the solubility rules provided in the owl preparation page to determine the solubility of compounds.)

Explanation:

Step1: Write the balanced molecular equation

$$(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq)+BaCl_2(aq)\to BaCO_3(s)+2NH_4Cl(aq)$$

Step2: Write the complete ionic equation

$$2NH_4^+(aq)+CO_3^{2 - }(aq)+Ba^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)\to BaCO_3(s)+2NH_4^+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)$$

Step3: Cancel the spectator ions ($NH_4^+$ and $Cl^-$)

$$Ba^{2+}(aq)+CO_3^{2 - }(aq)\to BaCO_3(s)$$

Answer:

$$Ba^{2+}(aq)+CO_3^{2 - }(aq)\to BaCO_3(s)$$
