Precipitation Reactions and Solubility
Guidelines
Molecular Equation: Balance the equation and predict the solubility of each possible product.
Ag2CO3(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
2AgNO3(aq) +
Na2CO3(aq)
Contains a group 1A cation.
Neither the cation nor the anion
is in the solubility list.
Write the molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of AgNO3 and Na2CO3 are mixed.
