Chemical Reactions

Below are questions designed to prepare you for the AP Chemistry Exam "Net Ionic Equations" section.  On an AP exam, you are to answer FIVE of EIGHT questions. 

The AP Exam Instructions:

Give the formulas to show the reactants and the products for the following chemical reactions. Each occurs in aqueous solution unless otherwise indicated. Represent substances in solution as ions if the substance is extensively ionized. Omit formulas for any ions or molecules that are unchanged by the reaction. In all cases a reaction occurs. You need not balance.
