PRACTICE PROBLEMS ON NET IONIC EQUATIONS Show the complete ionic and net ionic forms of
the following equations. If all species are spectator ions, please indicate that no reaction takes place. Note: you
need to make sure the original equation is balanced before proceeding! A set of solubility rules are given at the
end of this document.
