Constructing ionic equations using the continuous variation method<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The ionic equation for the formation of an insoluble salt can be constructed if we know the number of moles of cation<\/strong> and anion<\/strong> reacted together to form 1 mole of the insoluble salt.<\/li>\n
  2. For example:
    \n(a) 1 mole of silver chromate(VI) is formed from 2 moles of Ag+<\/sup> ions and 1 mole of CrO4<\/sub>2-<\/sup>\u00a0ions.
    \nIonic equation:
    \n2Ag+<\/sup>(aq) + CrO4<\/sub>2-<\/sup> (aq) \u2192 Ag2<\/sub>CrO4\u00a0<\/sub>(s)
    \n(b) 1 mole of lead(II) bromide is formed from 1 mole of Pb2+<\/sup> ions and 2 moles of Br ions. Ionic equation:
    \nPb2+<\/sup>(aq) + 2Br–<\/sup>(aq) \u2192 PbBr2<\/sub>(s)<\/li>\n
  3. The number of moles of cation and anion which combine to form 1 mole of the insoluble salt can be determined from experiment by a continuous variation method<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. The method involves the following steps.\n
      \n
    1. Carry out a reaction between a fixed volume of reactant A with varying volumes of a second reactant B.<\/li>\n
    2. Determine the volume of reactant B required to react completely with the fixed volume of reactant A.<\/li>\n
    3. Use the results of the experiment to calculate the number of moles of reactant A and number of moles of reactant B which reacted completely with each other.<\/li>\n
    4. Determine the simplest mole ratio of reactant A to reactant B which combine to form one mole of the insoluble salt.<\/li>\n
    5. Use the ratio to construct the ionic equation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
