Identify the spectator ions for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of lithium sulfide and copper(II)nitrate are mixed. A) Cu²⁺ and NO₃^- B) Li⁺ and Cu²⁺ C) Li⁺and NO₃^- D) S^2- and Cu²⁺ E) No spectator ions are present.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spectator ions do not participate in the reaction. In the reaction between lithium sulfide and copper(II) nitrate, lithium (Li^+) and nitrate (NO3^-) ions are spectators, as they do not change during the reaction.
