how do you select the ions to write in the net ionic equation? for example: nacl(aq) + agno3(aq) → agcl(s) + nano3(aq)
multiple choice.
locate the solid (s) reactant
locate the aqueous (aq) reactatnt
locate the aqueous (aq) product
locate the solid (s) product

Explanation:

In a net - ionic equation, we focus on the ions that participate in the formation of the solid (precipitate), gas or weak - electrolyte product. In the given reaction $NaCl(aq)+AgNO_3(aq)
ightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)$, the solid product is $AgCl$. The ions that form this solid are the ones we include in the net - ionic equation. We ignore the spectator ions (ions that remain in solution and do not participate in the reaction).

Answer:

D. Locate the solid (s) product
