What is the net ionic equation for the reaction between Na2SO4 and CaCl2?
A. 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) 2NaCl(aq)
B. Na2SO4(aq) + CaCl2(aq) CaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)
C. SO42-(aq) + Ca2+(aq) CaSO4(s)
D. 2Na+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) CaSO4(s) + 2Na+ + 2Cl-(aq)

Respuesta :

The net ionic equation for the reaction between Na₂SO₄ and CaCl₂ is:

SO₄²¯(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) —> CaSO₄(s)

(Option C)

Dissociation equation

In solution, Na₂SO₄ and CaCl₂ will dissociate as follow

Na₂SO₄(aq) —> 2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²¯(aq)

CaCl₂(aq) —> Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)

How to write the net ionic equation

Na₂SO₄(aq) + CaCl₂(aq) —>

2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²¯(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq) —> CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)

Cancel out the spectator ions (i.e Na⁺ + Cl¯) to obtain the net ionic equation

SO₄²¯(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) —> CaSO₄(s)
