Ionic Equations

Ionic Equations

To write ionic equations, follow the following steps:

1) Write a balanced equation with state symbols.
2) Leave (s), (l) and (g) alone. Split (aq) into ions.
3) Cancel ions that appear on both sides of the equation - "spectator ions".

Check that your final answer is correct:
* No. and type of atoms on RHS = No. and type of atoms on LHS
* Sum of charges on RHS = Sum of charges on LHS
