titration of seawater
1. Write the complete ionic and net ionic equations for the reaction between AgNO3 and K2CrO4.
Molecular equation: 2AgNO3 (aq) + K2CrO4 (aq) Ag2CrO4 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq)

In an ionic equation, any aqueous (aq) compound will break apart into its relative ions:
2 Ag+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq) + 2 K+ (aq) + CrO4- (aq)  Ag2CrO4 (s) + 2 K+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq)
In a net ionic equation, you will cross off any ions that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow:
2 Ag+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq) + 2 K+ (aq) + CrO4- (aq)  Ag2CrO4 (s) + 2 K+ (aq) + 2 NO3- (aq)
2 Ag+ (aq) + CrO4- (aq) ...
