What is the net ionic equation for the reaction shown below? AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) --> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)       →      AgCl(s)  

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq)       →     AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

Balance chemical equation:

AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq)       →     AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

Ionic equation

Ag⁺(aq)+ NO₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)+ Cl⁻(aq)       →      AgCl(s)  + Na⁺(aq)+ NO₃⁻(aq)

Net ionic equation:

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)       →      AgCl(s)  

The NO₃⁻((aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The AgCl can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.  

the answer would be b i believe
