What is the net ionic equation when 15 mL of 0.75 M sodium sulfate react with 15 mL of 0.75 M copper acetate?
ANSWERS OPTIONS
A
SO42−(aq) + Cu2+(aq) + CH3COO−(aq) → CuSO4 (s) + Na+(aq)
B
SO42−(aq) + Cu2+(aq) + Na+(aq) → CuSO4 (s) + CH3COO−(aq)
C
SO42−(aq) + Cu2+(aq) → CuSO4 (s)
D
Because no reaction occurs, there is no net ionic equation.
