Molecular equation: 3Ba(NO3)2 + 2K3PO4 = Ba3(PO4)2 (s) + 6KNO3.... What is the Total Ionic equation? And the Net Ionic equation?
Total Ionic equation:
Total ionic equation means to write the given chemical equation in ionic form. Given compounds are salts, They will react when they are dissoved in water (or some liquid media). Compounds which are soluble in water should be written in ionic form. Here only Ba3(PO4)2 is insoluble in water (Mentioned by(s) )
3Ba2+ + 6NO3- + 6K+ + 2PO43- -----> Ba3(PO4)2 (s) + 6 K+ + 6 NO3-
Net ionic equation:
Net ionic equation is leaving out the ions which continue to remain in ionic form even after reaction and writing only the ions which are reacting to form compunds.Here I leave out K+ ions and NO3- ions.
3Ba2+ + + 2PO43- ----> Ba3(PO4)2 (s)
