CAIE IGCSE Chemistry 3.1.7 Construct symbol equations with state

Practise constructing ionic equations with state symbols for precipitation reactions involving common aqueous ions and solids.

Exam points

write net ionic equations with only reacting ions on the left and the precipitate as product
apply state symbols to precipitation equations, usually (aq) + (aq) -> (s)

[Maximum number: 3]

Fluorine, chlorine and bromine are in Group VII of the Periodic Table.

Aqueous silver nitrate is a colourless solution containing $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})$ ions.

Write the ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous sodium chloride.

Include state symbols.

$\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{AgCl}(\mathrm{~s})$

M1 AgCl as only product

$\mathrm{M} 2 \mathrm{Ag}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ as only reactants (in 1: 1 ratio)

M3 state symbols
