What information does a complete ionic equation provide about a reaction, and how are different substances represented in the equation?
gpt
A complete ionic equation provides the ionic-theory interpretation of the reaction from the molecular equation, showing what is happening at the ion level; strong electrolytes are written as separate ions, soluble substances have (aq) after their formula, weak electrolytes are represented by their molecular formula, and insoluble solid substances have (s) after their formula.
Explanation: Complete ionic equations depict the ions involved in a reaction, allowing for a clear understanding of the changes that occur during the reaction.
