Problem

A proposed net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous silver(I) nitrate and aqueous sodium sulfate is written as 2 Ag+(aq)+SO42−(aq)→Ag2SO42−(s)2\,\text{Ag}^+(aq) + \text{SO}_4^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow \text{Ag}_2\text{SO}_4^{2-}(s) Which conservation law, if any, is violated by this equation? (a) Neither mass nor charge is conserved (b) Charge is conserved but mass is not conserved (c) Mass is conserved but charge is not conserved (d) Both mass and charge are conserved
