A '''spectator ion''' is an [[ion]] which is present, but does not take place in a reaction. Spectator ions are commonly found in a reaction between a [[strong acid]] and a [[strong base]]. If the resulting [[salt]] created by the combination of the [[conjugate base]] and [[conjugate acid]] is soluble in water, then both the conjugate acid and conjugate base act as spectator ions.
