So lets write the ionic and net ionic equations for the two equations above. The first equation well convert is; Na 2 SO 4(aq) + CaCl 2(aq)---> CaSO 4(s) + 2NaCl (aq) To change the above equation to the ionic equation the aqueous ionic substances must be written as ions; 2Na + (aq) + SO 4 2-(aq) + Ca 2+ (aq) + 2Cl-(aq)---> CaSO 4(s) + 2Na + (aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
