Complete the following passage with the best answers. Some answers may be used more than once, some may not be used. In a(n) 1)_______________________ reaction, two aqueous solutions of soluble ionic species are combined which results in at least one pairing of ions producing an insoluble solid. This type of reaction belongs to a larger class of reactions called 2)____________________ reactions, in which two species ‘swap’ bonding partners. There are several ways to express such a reaction with a chemical reaction equation. In a(n) 3)______________________ equation, the reactant and product species are written as complete formulas, with ions paired together as salts. Subscripts of (aq) or (s) may denote whether each compound is soluble or insoluble, but otherwise, no dissociation is depicted. This type of equation can be expanded into a 4)___________________ equation, where each soluble ion is written separately, expressing its state of being dissociated in solution, while insoluble compounds remain written as complete formulas. In such an equation, 5)______________________ can be clearly seen, appearing both on the reactant and product side of the equation, indicating that they are not interacting with other ions or participating in the formation of the solid. Eliminating these inactive species gives a(n) 6)________________________ where only the ions which come together to react and form the solid are shown, as well as the solid produced.
