The balanced equation :
LiI(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) --> AgI(s) + LiNO₃(aq)
Given
Word equation
Required
Balanced equation
Solution
There are 3 ways to express a chemical equation:
Skeleton equation for reaction above :
LiI(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) ⇒ AgI(s) + LiNO₃(aq)
If we look at this reaction, all the cations and anions have a charge of 1 (+1 or -1) so the balanced reaction between the skeleton equation and the balanced equation is the same
