Step by step solution

01

Write the balanced molecular equation

For the reaction between ammonium sulfate \((NH_4)_2SO_4\), and barium nitrate \((Ba(NO_3)_2)\): \[(NH_4)_2SO_4 (aq) + Ba(NO_3)_2(aq) \rightarrow 2NH_4NO_3(aq) + BaSO_4(s)\]
02

Write the balanced total ionic equation

Split all strong electrolytes into ions: \[2NH_4^+(aq) + SO_4^{2-}(aq) + Ba^{2+}(aq) + 2NO_3^-(aq) \rightarrow 2NH_4^+(aq) + 2NO_3^-(aq) + BaSO_4(s)\]
03

Write the net ionic equation

Remove the spectator ions (2NH4+ and 2NO3-): \[SO_4^{2-}(aq) + Ba^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow BaSO_4(s)\] b. Lead(II) nitrate and sodium chloride
04

Write the balanced molecular equation

For the reaction between lead(II) nitrate \((Pb(NO_3)_2)\) and sodium chloride \((NaCl)\): \[Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2NaCl(aq) \rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq) + PbCl_2(s)\]
05

Write the balanced total ionic equation

Split all strong electrolytes into ions: \[Pb^{2+}(aq) + 2NO_3^-(aq) + 2Na^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) \rightarrow 2Na^+(aq) + 2NO_3^-(aq) + PbCl_2(s)\]
06

Write the net ionic equation

Remove the spectator ions (2Na+ and 2NO3-): \[Pb^{2+}(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) \rightarrow PbCl_2(s)\] c. Sodium phosphate and potassium nitrate
07

Write the balanced molecular equation

For the reaction between sodium phosphate \((Na_3PO_4)\) and potassium nitrate \((KNO_3)\): \[Na_3PO_4(aq) + 3KNO_3(aq) \rightarrow 3NaNO_3(aq) + K_3PO_4(aq)\]
08

Write the balanced total ionic equation

Split all strong electrolytes into ions: \[3Na^+(aq) + PO_4^{3-}(aq) + 3K^+(aq) + 3NO_3^-(aq) \rightarrow 3Na^+(aq) + 3NO_3^-(aq) + 3K^+(aq) + PO_4^{3-}(aq)\]
09

Write the net ionic equation

All ions are spectator ions, so no reaction occurs. d. Sodium bromide and rubidium chloride
10

Write the balanced molecular equation

For the reaction between sodium bromide \((NaBr)\) and rubidium chloride \((RbCl)\): \[NaBr(aq) + RbCl(aq) \rightarrow NaCl(aq) + RbBr(aq)\]
11

Write the balanced total ionic equation

Split all strong electrolytes into ions: \[Na^+(aq) + Br^-(aq) + Rb^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) \rightarrow Na^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) + Rb^+(aq) + Br^-(aq)\]
12

Write the net ionic equation

All ions are spectator ions, so no reaction occurs. e. Copper(II) chloride and sodium hydroxide
13

Write the balanced molecular equation

For the reaction between copper(II) chloride \((CuCl_2)\) and sodium hydroxide \((NaOH)\): \[CuCl_2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) \rightarrow 2NaCl(aq) + Cu(OH)_2(s)\]
14

Write the balanced total ionic equation

Split all strong electrolytes into ions: \[Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2Na^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) \rightarrow 2Na^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + Cu(OH)_2(s)\]
15

Write the net ionic equation

Remove the spectator ions (2Na+ and 2Cl-): \[Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) \rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)\]
