Does a reaction occur when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and chromium(III) nitrate are combined? yesno If a reaction does occur, write the net ionic equation. Use the solubility rules provided in the OWL Preparation Page to determine the solubility of compounds. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed leave it blank.

3 CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 Cr³⁺(aq) ⇒ Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and chromium(III) nitrate are combined.

3 (NH₄)₂CO₃(aq) + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃(aq) ⇒ 6 NH₄NO₃(aq) + Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and insoluble species.

6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 3 CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 Cr³⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq) ⇒ 6 NH₄⁺(aq) + 6 NO₃⁻(aq) + Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the insoluble species.

3 CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 Cr³⁺(aq) ⇒ Cr₂(CO₃)₃(s)
