The following molecular equation represents the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of silver(I) nitrate and barium chloride are combined.

Write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction.
(Use the lowest possible coefficients. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.)

Hey, I hope this helps. You gave the equation already balanced so there was no need to do so, the next thing we need to do after balancing is to split the strong electrolytes into ions. Once that is completed we cross off any reoccurring ions. That leaves us with our complete net ionic.

I also recommend you check out Wayne Breslyn on Yt. He is so helpful with equations like these.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
