Which of the following types of equations will include spectator ions a. molecular equation b. full ionic equation c. net ionic equation

B. Full ionic equation will include spectator ions

The electrolyte in the solution produces ions.

The equation of a chemical reaction can be expressed in the equation of the ions

For strong electrolytes (the ionization rate = 1) is written in the form of separate ions, while the weak electrolyte (degree of ionization <1) is still written as an un-ionized molecule

In the ion equation, there is spectator ion that is the ion which does not react because it is present before and after the reaction

When these ions are removed, the ionic equation is called the net ionic equation

For gases and solids including water (H₂O) can be written as an ionized molecule

So only the dissolved compound is ionized ((expressed in symbol aq)

For example Reaction between :

K₃PO₄(aq) + FeCl₃(aq)

Reactions that occur:

K₃PO₄(aq) + FeCl₃(aq) ⇒ 3KCl(aq) + FePO₄(s)

this reaction is called  Molecular equation

FePO₄(s) solid form that does not decompose in the form of ions

So the ionic equation becomes:

this reaction is called Full ionic equation

There is spectator ions that is 3K⁺(aq) and 3Cl⁻(aq) , so that if it is removed a net ionic equation will be formed:

this reaction is called Net ionic equation
