Some help with writing net ionic equations?
« on: April 08, 2011, 04:24:23 PM »
I have a worksheet that I need to write net ionic equations for some reactions. I've done most of them but there is just one left that sort of confuses me. Can someone check over the ones I've already done and tell me how to do the one I couldn't get?

1. Hydrogen chloride gas is mixed with ammonia gas
NH3(g) + HCl(g)  :rarrow: NH4Cl(g)

2. Carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through a solution of 0.5M potassium hydroxide
CO2(g) + OH-(aq)  :rarrow: HCO3-(aq)

3. Boron trifluoride gas is mixed with gaseous ammonia
BF3(g) + NH3(g)  :rarrow: BF3NH3(g)

The one i can't get is:

4. Solid ammonium nitrate is added to water

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

There are no new products formed. The only thing that happens is the dissolution of ammonium nitrate into its constituent ions.
