Can the total ionic equation shows the net change in the equation after spectator ions been removed?

The total ionic equation shows all of the equation, even the spectator ions. The net ionic equation shows the net change after spectator ions have been removed.


What number should be placed in front of CaSO4 to give the same total number of sulfate ions on each side of the equation?

To balance the number of sulfate ions on each side of the equation, a coefficient of 3 should be placed in front of CaSO4. This will give a total of 3 sulfate ions on each side of the equation.
