Constructing on ionic equation from a chemical reaction
1. All reactions that are involved in the preparation of salts can be represented by chemical equations and ionic equations.
2. From a chemical equation, the ions that form a salt can be identified.
3. The following are the steps involved in writing an ionic equation from a chemical equation:
Step 1) Write the chemical equation.
Step 2) Write all the ions from the reactants and reaction products which are present in the aqueous solution.
Step 3) Ignore the ions that do not participate in the chemical reaction.
