Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and lithium bromide. (include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer. use the lowest possible whole number coefficients.)

Ag⁺ (aq) + Br⁻ (aq) ⇒ AgBr (s)

Explanation:

The reaction between silver nitrate and lithium bromide is as follows:

AgNO₃ (aq) + LiBr (aq)⇒ AgBr (s) + LiNO₃ (aq)

The aqueous compounds will dissociate into their ions, so the reaction may be rewritten as:

Ag⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) + Li⁺ (aq) + Br⁻ (aq) ⇒ AgBr (s) + Li⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

In order to form the net ionic equation, we remove from the reaction any ions that did not undergo a chemical change (ions that are exactly the same on the reactants side and on the products side). These ions are referred to as spectator ions. The spectator ions are NO₃⁻, Li⁺, and Br⁻. The net ionic equation is then:

Ag⁺ (aq) + Br⁻ (aq) ⇒ AgBr (s)

i'm pretty sure its b i might be wrong though!

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
