Purple colour is due to potassium ion.
Addition of silver nitrate: a bright yellow precipitate formed: this means iodide ion is present.
So the ionic compound is KI.
Full molecular equation:
AgNO3(aq) + KI(aq) → AgI(s) + KNO3(aq)
Full ionic equation:
Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) +
K+(aq) + I-(aq) → AgI(s) + K+(aq)
+ NO3-(aq)
Now inspect this full ionic equation . Find everything that is
identical on both sides of the → sign. These are the spectator ions
which are: K+(aq) and
NO3-(aq)
What is left is the net ionic equation:
Ag+(aq) + I-(aq) → AgI(s)
