The molecular equation is 2KOH(aq) + CoBr2(aq) ==> 2KBr(aq) + Co(OH)2(s)The spectator ions are K^+ and Br^-
In water solution potassium ion (K+) is a spectator ion, it does not react because both KOH and KBr are soluble salts (the first strongly basic, the last a neutral salt)
The ionic equation is 2K+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + Co^2(aq) + 2Br^-(aq) ==> 2K+(aq) + 2Br-(aq) + Co(OH)2(s)net ionic equation is Co2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) ==> Co(OH)2(s)So spectators are K+ and Br- ions.
NO3 is a spectator ion. It does not undergo any chemical changes during a reaction and remains in solution.
KOH is an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion. The hydroxide ion (OH-) is a polyatomic ion that is composed of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom.
A spectator ion is an ion that does not take part in the reaction. If you write out a normal equation. look for something that is the same on both sides and does not change state. This is a spectator ion and can be crossed out of the net ionic equation
In water solution potassium ion (K+) is a spectator ion, it does not react because both KOH and KBr are soluble salts (the first strongly basic, the last a neutral salt)
The ionic equation is 2K+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + Co^2(aq) + 2Br^-(aq) ==> 2K+(aq) + 2Br-(aq) + Co(OH)2(s)net ionic equation is Co2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) ==> Co(OH)2(s)So spectators are K+ and Br- ions.
NO3 is a spectator ion. It does not undergo any chemical changes during a reaction and remains in solution.
Co2+ is an ion. But it will combine with any anion to form a compound as in CoCl2 or CoBr2.
spectator ion
The symbol for a potassium ion is K+ The charge is +1 because potassium is in the first group on the periodic table.
KOH is an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion. The hydroxide ion (OH-) is a polyatomic ion that is composed of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom.
The spectator ion for beryllium hydroxide is the hydroxide ion (OH-). Beryllium (Be2+) is the main ion involved in the reaction, while the hydroxide ion remains unchanged and does not participate in the net ionic equation.
When KOH is placed in water, it ionizes to K+ and OH-, so the polyatomic ion is the OH- (hydroxyl anion).
A spectator ion is an ion that does not take part in the reaction. If you write out a normal equation. look for something that is the same on both sides and does not change state. This is a spectator ion and can be crossed out of the net ionic equation
Which is a spectator ion in the reaction between Na2CO3(aq) and HNO3(aq)
K+ and NO3- because KOH + HNO3 (yields) H2O + KNO3
