Read each question carefully and provide the requested information. Remember to balance all equations and indicate states of matter (s, l, g, aq).
1. Most nitrates (NO₃⁻) are in water.
2. Most sulfates (SO₄²⁻) are soluble, except for those containing Ba²⁺, Sr²⁺, Pb²⁺, and .
3. Most chlorides (Cl⁻) are soluble, except for those containing Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, and .
4. Write the complete ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous sodium chloride. Include states of matter.
5. From the complete ionic equation in question 4, identify all spectator ions.
6. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous potassium iodide and aqueous lead(II) nitrate.

7. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous sodium carbonate is mixed with aqueous calcium chloride.
8. Which of the following ions would NOT be a spectator ion in the reaction between Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) and NaOH(aq)?
