Question

When ionic solids dissolve in water, they produce soluble aqueous cations and anions. For example, adding MgBr2 solids to water will produce ions according to the dissolution reaction below. MgBr2(s) Mg2+(aq) + 2 Br(aq) cation anion In this lab, you will be observing the color of emission from ions dissolved in solution. Please write the dissolution reaction for each of the ionic solids below. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.) (a.) LiNO3 (b.) BaCl2 (c.) Ba(NO3)2

Explanation / Answer

(a)

LiNO3 (s) -----------> Li+ (aq.) + NO3- (aq.)

(b)

BaCl2 (s) -----------> Ba2+ (aq.) + 2 Cl- (aq.)
(c)

Ba(NO3)2 (s) ---------> Ba2+ (aq.) + 2 NO3- (aq.)
