Question

For reactions that take place in aqueous solutions, which one is most likely correct. Group of answer choices

1. An equation indicating only the species that actually change during the reaction, is the overall equation.

2. A chemical equation indicating all the species as they are actually present in aqueous solution, and where weak electrolytes do not dissociate into their component ions, is a complete ionic equation

3. A chemical equation that shows the complete, neutral formulas for every reactant and product in the reaction, is the net ionic equation.

4. A chemical equation indicating the complete, neutral formulas for every substance in the reaction, is the complete ionic equation.

Answer 1

C) Chemical equation that shows the complete, neutral formulas for every reactant and product in the reaction, is called the total molecular equation. So this option is incorrect.

A) Since overall equation does not only contains species those are changing actually, it includes all species. So, this option is incorrect.

D) As explained in the above option (C), so this option is also incorrect.

B) Correct, because, Complete ionic equation is the chemical equation indicating all the species as they are actually present in aqueous solution, and where weak electrolytes do not dissociate into their component ions.

So this option is correct.
