The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:
Write the net ionic equation for the reaction [tex]2AgNO_3(aq)+(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq)->Ag_2CO_3(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq)[/tex]
Answer: [tex]2Ag^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2CO_3(s)[/tex]
Explanation:
Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.
The given chemical equation is:
[tex]2AgNO_3(aq)+(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq)->Ag_2CO_3(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq)[/tex]
The complete ionic equation is:
[tex]2Ag^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)+2NH_4^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2CO_3(s)+2NH_4^+(aq)+2NO_3^-(aq)[/tex]
The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are ammonium and nitrate ions and hence are not involved in net ionic equation.
Hence, the net ionic equation is [tex]2Ag^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Ag_2CO_3(s)[/tex]
