Concept introduction: In an ionic equation of a chemical reaction, ions of aqueous solution are represented in the equation. When all the possible ions are represented in the equation then it is known as a complete ionic equation but when the ions which does not participate in the reaction are removed from the equation then, the equation is known as net ionic equation.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 45A

A spectator ion is an ion present in both sides of the reaction arrow thus, cannot be written in the net ionic equation.

Explanation of Solution

A spectator ion is that ion which is removed from the complete ionic equation to write net ionic equation as, they are present on both sides of the reaction arrow.

Conclusion

A spectator ion is an ion present in both sides of the reaction arrow thus, cannot be written in the net ionic equation.
