Chemistry HELP, how to write this equation in net ionic, and molecular form. AgNO3 + KCl -> AgCl + KNO3?

Question

AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) -> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

Answer 1

Ag+ + Cl- = AgCl precipitate. The rest are spectator ions

Answer 2

You've already written it in the molecular form.

To get to the net ionic equation, separate every ionic compound into its particular ions:

Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + K+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> AgCl(s) + K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

THen, go through and cancel out everything that is in exactly the same form on both sides of the arrow. Those are the spectator ions. What you have remaining is the net ionic equation.

In this case, you'll be left with:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> AgCl(s)
