In ionic equations the spectator ions are the ions that do not form a solute in the reactants side. They will have the symbol aq (for aqueous or in water)after it showing that is has not precipitated into a solid.
A spectator ion is used, because it just "spectates". It does not get involved in the reaction. Spectator ions can be seen in a net ionic equation, but they are canceled out because they do not react. to form the equation of the reacting ions.
These ions are present in the reactants and products and don't take part in the reaction.
NH4+ + Cl- + K+ + OH- --> NH3 + H2O + Cl- + K+ Since the question is not asking for the net ionic equation, spectator ions should be included in the ionic equation as well.
Complete Ionic Equation. 2K+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Ca2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) --> 2K+(aq) + 2I-(aq) + CaSO4(s) Net Ionic Equation Minus the Spectator Ions K+ and I-. Ca2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) --> CaSO4(s)
it produces ammonia (NH3) and water; the nitrate and sodium ions are spectator ions and do not participate in the reaction. Hence, ionic equation: NH4+ + OH- -> NH3 + H2O
The eqnet ionic equation is HCN + OH- --> H2O + CN-
All elements are disassociated so there is no net Ionic equation
the spectator ions are removed
the spectator ions are 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.
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
A net ionic equation includes only the components that are active in the reaction. Spectator ions are removed, unlike in total ionic equations.
A net ionic equation only includes those components that are directly involved in the reaction. Spectator ions are not included.
The are only soluble ions without spectator ions.
Yes. If both compounds are insoluable in water then the complete/overall ionic equation and the net ionic equation will look the same. The only way they look different is if there are spectator ions(ions that appear on both sides of the equation).

Spectator Ions. YEA BUDDY!
spectator ions are: Na and NO3
NH4+ + Cl- + K+ + OH- --> NH3 + H2O + Cl- + K+ Since the question is not asking for the net ionic equation, spectator ions should be included in the ionic equation as well.
