# A student in a chemistry laboratory mixes equal volumes of \(0.10\text{ M }\text{AgNO}_3\text{(aq)}\) and \(0.10\text{ M }\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3\text{(aq)}\) and observes the formation of a precipitate. Which of the following represents the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs?

A student in a chemistry laboratory mixes equal volumes of \(0.10\text{ M }\text{AgNO}_3\text{(aq)}\) and \(0.10\text{ M }\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3\text{(aq)}\) and observes the formation of a precipitate. Which of the following represents the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs?

- **A.** \(2\text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} + 2\text{NO}_3^-\text{(aq)} + 2\text{Na}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{CO}_3^{2-}\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{Na}^+\text{(aq)} + 2\text{NO}_3^-\text{(aq)}\)
- **B.** \(2\text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{CO}_3^{2-}\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3\text{(s)}\)
- **C.** \(2\text{AgNO}_3\text{(aq)} + \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{NaNO}_3\text{(aq)}\)
- **D.** \(\text{Na}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{NO}_3^-\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{NaNO}_3\text{(s)}\)
