Net Ionic Equations for Acid Reactions Quiz

What is the primary characteristic of a molecular equation in an acid reaction?

• It only includes the products of the reaction.

• It highlights the spectator ions.

• It displays the compounds as they appear in solution.

• It shows the charges of ions.

In a total ionic equation, what happens to compounds in solution?

• They are removed from the equation.

• They are combined into a single compound.

• They remain as whole molecules.

• They are broken down into their respective ions.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a total ionic equation?

• It breaks down compounds into ions.

• It highlights only the reacting ions.

• It shows stable molecules as they are.

• It includes all ions present in the reaction.

What is the purpose of identifying spectator ions in a net ionic equation?

• To balance the charges in the equation.

• To highlight the most reactive ions.

• To identify the products of the reaction.

• To simplify the equation by removing non-reacting ions.
