A spectator ion is an ion which does not participate in a reaction.
Zn(s) + H2SO4 (aq) -----> ZnSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)
That is the equation.
The Zn goes from a solid to aqeous therefore it reacted.
The Hydrogen in H2SO4 went from (aq) to (g) therefore it reacted.
The SO4 however went from (aq) to (aq) and therefore didn't react and is therefore a spectator ion.

∙ 10y agoSpectator ions facilitate the reaction but do not actually change at the end of the reaction.
Easiest way to put it, the ion that looks the same on both sides of the reaction.
Even the same charge.

What are the spectator ions in 2H SO42- Ca2 2I- CaSO4?
H+ and I- are the spectator ions.
What the spectator ions in silver sulfate plus Barium nitrate reaction?
The spectator ions are Ag+ and (NO3)-.
Which ions are not spectator ions in the precipitation equation Pb(NO3)2 plus 2KI -- and gt PbI2 and nbsp plus 2KNO3?
The spectator ions in this precipitation equation are K+ and NO3-. The non-spectator ions are Pb2+ and I-. They combine to form the precipitate PbI2.
Is CH3Cooh have spectated ions?
If you mean spectator ions than no, as it is a weak acid.
The spectator ions in the reaction between aqueous perchloric acid and aqueous barium hydoxide are?
Potassium and chloride ions.
Which of the following best describes spectator ions?
(Apex) Ions that do not participate in the reaction
One or more of the ions that do not participate in an oxidation-reduction reaction are called?
spectator ions
What are the spectator ions in 2H SO42- Ca2 2I- CaSO4?
H+ and I- are the spectator ions.
What ions are always spectator ions?
Na+, K+,Li+, NH4 + and NO3 - are always spectator ions because they are always soluble
What the spectator ions in silver sulfate plus Barium nitrate reaction?
The spectator ions are Ag+ and (NO3)-.
Ions that do not participate in an aqueous chemical reaction?
I don't know the answer to number 3. Pedro, Danny, and me are wondering what the answer for number 3 is. Any psychics please help us before dooms day.

What are the spectator ions when copperII chloride reacts with aqueous ammonium phosphate?
The spectator ions are chloride and ammonium; the copper and phosphate ions precipitate from the solution as copper (II) phosphate.
What is the spectator ions in magnesium sulphate and sodium hydroxide?
Sodium and sulfate are spectator ions or tribuned ions because they do not react, the other two will give precipitated Mg(OH)2.
Is CH3Cooh have spectated ions?
If you mean spectator ions than no, as it is a weak acid.
Why are the potassium and nitrate ions not involved in the equilibrium reaction?
they are both spectator ions.
