Lizwi Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Why is NO3 called spectator ion because it can react with water to form HNO3 and turn water in OH- so the solution is neutral Thanks Edited August 19, 2020 by Lizwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenbeier Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Here only the cathion reaction should be considered. Instead of Nitrate, also other ions like chloride, sulfate, could be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Traveler Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 A spectator ion is an ion that exists in the same form on both the reactant side and the product side of a chemical reaction. NH4+ +NO3- +H++OH-=H3O++NH3+NO3- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
