Molarity of Ions in Solution
Often it is necessary to calculate not only the concentration (in molarity) of a compound
in aqueous solution but also the concentration of each ion in aqueous solution. The
coefficients from the balanced dissolution equation are used in this type of calculation.
Example
Calculate the concentrations of Na1 and SO422 in an aqueous solution of 2.0 M Na2SO4.
Step 1

Net Ionic Equations
Introduction
For reactions which occur in aqueous solution, the net ionic equation is particularly useful since only those species which participate in the reaction, i.e.,
reacting species, are included. The principal step in writing the net ionic equation
is to determine which molecular species or salts are strong electrolytes in aqueous
solution. Therefore, it is necessary to have a complete understanding of strong
electrolytes before proceeding to the writing of net ionic equations.
Strong Electrolytes
In aqueous solution, strong electrolytes dissolve and dissociate (separate) 100%
to form ions. Thus, an aqueous solution of a strong electrolyte contains a relatively high concentration of ions. For example, when dissolved in water, the
ionic compound NaCl is classified as a strong electrolyte. As a result, NaCl(aq)
really exists in solution as dissociated and separated ions of Na1(aq) and Cl2(aq).
Neutral formula units of NaCl do not exist dissolved in solution. Strong acids,
strong bases, and soluble ionic compounds are classified as strong electrolytes in
aqueous solution.
Most general chemistry books agree that the seven compounds given below are
strong acids (ergo strong electrolytes) when dissolved in water. Consequently,
HCl(aq)
HBr(aq)
HI(aq)
Strong Acids
HClO4(aq)
HClO3(aq)
H2SO4(aq)
HNO3(aq)
an aqueous solution of the strong acid perchloric acid, HClO4(aq), actually
consists of dissociated and separated ions of H1(aq) and ClO42(aq). Neutral
molecules of HClO4 do not exist dissolved in solution. Likewise, an aqueous
solution of the strong acid hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), really consists of H1(aq)
157
Chemistry 116 General Chemistry
and Cl2(aq). Neutral molecules of HCl do not exist dissolved in solution. The dissolution
equations for HClO4 and HCl are represented as shown below. When dissolved in

water, any other acid, e.g., HC2H3O2, H2CO3, HF, H2S, etc., is a weak acid and therefore
a weak electrolyte. Weak electrolytes dissolve but dissociate less than 100% to form ions.
Thus, an aqueous solution of a weak electrolyte contains a relatively low concentration
of ions. For example, the weak acid acetic acid, HC2H3O2, readily dissolves in water.
However, the majority of this acid (~99%) dissolves as neutral molecules of HC2H3O2.
Only a small amount (~1%) dissociates and exists as separate ions of H1(aq) and
C2H3O22(aq). The dissolution equation for HC2H3O2 is represented as shown below.

Most general chemistry books agree that the Group IA metal hydroxides and the heavier
Group IIA metal hydroxides given below are strong bases (ergo strong electrolytes)
when dissolved in water. Consequently, an aqueous solution of the strong base calcium

hydroxide, Ca(OH)2(aq), really consists of dissociated and separated ions of Ca12(aq) and
OH2(aq). Neutral formula units of Ca(OH)2 do not exist dissolved in solution. However, if the solution is saturated with Ca12 and OH2 ions, solid undissolved Ca(OH)2
may be present as a precipitate at the bottom of the vessel. The dissolution equation
158

for Ca(OH)2 is represented as shown below. When dissolved in water, weak bases, such
as ammonia and its derivatives, are classified as weak electrolytes. For example, the weak

base ammonia, NH3, readily dissolves in water. However, the majority of this base (~99%)
dissolves as neutral molecules of NH3. A small amount (~1%) reacts with water to form
separated ions of NH41(aq) and OH2(aq), as shown below in the dissolution equation.
NH3(aq) 1 H2O(l) H2O
~1%
~99% dissolved as
neutral molecules
NH41(aq) 1 OH2(aq) ~1% dissolved as separate ions
Soluble ionic compounds are also classified as strong electrolytes when dissolved in
water. The solubility rules, given in Appendix C, are used to determine whether an ionic
compound is soluble (ergo a strong electrolyte) or insoluble (ergo not a strong electrolyte). For example, consider the two ionic compounds, K2SO4 and BaSO4. The fourth
solubility rule specifies that K2SO4 is soluble, whereas BaSO4 is insoluble. Therefore, of
the two sulfates, only the K2SO4 is a strong electrolyte. Consequently, an aqueous solution of potassium sulfate, K2SO4(aq), really consists of dissociated and separated ions of
K1(aq) and SO422(aq). Neutral formula units of K2SO4 do not exist dissolved in solution.
However, if the solution is saturated with K1 and SO422 ions, solid undissolved K2SO4
may be present as a precipitate at the bottom of the vessel. The dissolution equation for
K2SO4 is represented as shown below. Conversely, the insoluble BaSO4 does not dissolve
to any significant extent and will remain as a precipitate at the bottom of the vessel.1

he small amount of an insoluble ionic compound that does dissolve is dissociated 100% into ions. For example,
T
insoluble BaSO4 has a molar solubility of 131025 M. This small amount of BaSO4 that dissolves, dissociates
100% to give relatively low Ba+2 and SO422 concentrations of 131025 M.

Net Ionic Equations
For chemical reactions taking place in aqueous solution, three different balanced
equations can be written, the molecular equation, the full ionic equation, and the net ionic
equation. The molecular equation includes full chemical formulas for all reactants and
products. The full ionic equation shows all reactants and products as they actually exist
in solution, i.e., strong electrolytes are shown dissociated into ions. The net ionic equation includes only the reacting species, i.e., ions or compounds that change in some way
during the course of the reaction. Systematic and correct writing of the three equations
in the order molecular, full ionic, and net ionic will result in correct derivation of the
net ionic equation. This process is outlined in the following two examples.
Example
Aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate are mixed. Write the net
ionic equation.
Step 1
A. Write correct chemical formulas for each compound given.

C. Write the balanced molecular equation.
Balanced Molecular Equation:
CaCl2 1 Na2CO3 → CaCO3 1 2 NaCl
Step 2
A. Identify strong electrolytes. Remember…strong electrolytes are strong acids, strong
bases, and soluble ionic compounds. Use Appendix C to determine whether an ionic
compound is soluble or insoluble.

B. Write the full ionic equation by showing all species as they really exist in solution,
i.e., strong electrolytes are shown dissociated into ions.
Balanced Full Ionic Equation:
Ca12 1 2 Cl2 1 2 Na1 1 CO322 → CaCO3(s) 1 2 Na1 1 2 Cl2
Step 3
A. Identify spectator ions. Spectator ions are ions that appear on both sides of the equation in exactly the same form.
Spectator Ions: Na1 and Cl2
These ions are present on both sides of the equation
in the same form (dissolved in solution) and with
the same charge.
Reacting Ions:
Ca12 and CO322
These ions are changing form. On the reactant
side they are dissolved in solution; whereas, on
the product side they are present in an insoluble
precipitate.
B. Write the net ionic equation by removing spectator ions from the full ionic equation and balance (if the molecular equation was not previously balanced in Step 1C).
Balanced Net Ionic Equation:
Ca12 1 CO322 → CaCO3(s)
Example
Aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and magnesium hydroxide are mixed. Write
the net ionic equation if the products of this reaction are magnesium chloride, ammonia, and water.

i.e., strong electrolytes are shown dissociated into ions.
