Questions this course answers

What is the purpose of a net ionic equation?

Spectators are removed so the net change is visible.

Which species is usually not split?

The precipitate is a solid, not separated aqueous ions.

What two checks are required?

Both matter conservation and charge conservation apply.

What should happen if all ions cancel?

Complete cancellation means no net chemical change.
