(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced molecular and net ionic equations are to be written for the reaction of zinc nitrate with sodium sulfate in an aqueous solution.
Explanation of Solution
No reaction takes place on mixing zinc nitrate and sodium sulfate in an aqueous solution. For instance, if product forms, the possible products that can be formed are zinc sulfate and sodium nitrate. Both the products and reactants are electrolytes and remain in a dissociated form. Since all the ions remain as such, no new products are formed in the given reaction.

Explanation of Solution
Except for copper sulfate, all other substances are non-electrolytes. The given reaction is a double displacement reaction as well as a precipitation reaction. The balanced molecular equation is as follows:
The balanced ionic equation of the given reaction is as follows:
As no ion is a spectator ion, the net ionic equation is same as the ionic equation.
(d)
Interpretation:
The balanced molecular and net ionic equations are to be written for the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with acetic acid.
Explanation of Solution
Acetic acid is a weak electrolyte and sodium bicarbonate is an electrolyte. As the given reaction is an example of acid and base neutralization reaction, acetic acid reacts slowly with bicarbonate to form carbonic acid which in turn decomposes to water and carbon dioxide. The balanced molecular equation is as follows:
Since most of the acetic acid molecules remain undissociated, the molecular form is used in writing the ionic equation.The balanced ionic equation of the given reaction is as follows:
As sodium ion isa spectator ion, the net ionic equation is as follows:

It forms ions in solution by reacting with water molecules to form the ammonium ion and hydroxide ion. Write the balanced chemical reaction for this process, including state symbols. b From everyday experience you are probably aware that table sugar (sucrose), C12H22O11, is soluble in water. When sucrose dissolves in water, it doesnt form ions through any reaction with water. It just dissolves without forming ions, so it is a nonelectrolyte. Write the chemical equation for the dissolving of sucrose in water. c Both NH3 and C12H22O11 are soluble molecular compounds, yet they behave differently in aqueous solution. Briefly explain why one is a weak electrolyte and the other is a nonelectrolyte. d Hydrochloric acid, HCl, is a molecular compound that is a strong electrolyte. Write the chemical reaction of HCl with water. e Compare the ammonia reaction with that of hydrochloric acid.
