Net ionic reactions.
« on: March 02, 2009, 07:27:55 PM »
How do you go about finding the net ionic reaction for NaI + FeCl3? I've looked online and found that the reaction results in I2+FeCl2+NaCl. But, I don't understand how you get this. Thanks for any help.

Well, start with a balanced chemical equation, reactants and products.  Do you know which ones ionize?  The net ionic equation will have the ions canceled out from both sides.

My bet is that problem lies not in the net ionic, but in finding products.

ianb: no simple and obvious way of finding that out, it cames with experience.
