Identify the spectator ions in the following molecular equation. KBr(aq)+ AgNO₃(aq)→ AgBr(s)+ KNO₃(aq) A)Ag⁺ & Br^- B)K⁺ & NO₃^- C)K⁺ & Br^- D)Ag⁺ & NO₃^- E)There are no spectator ions in this reaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spectator ions are ions that do not participate in the formation of the precipitate. In this reaction, K⁺ and NO₃⁻ remain in the aqueous solution and do not form the solid AgBr, making them spectator ions.
