Answer to Question #122929 in General Chemistry for Istiyanti htg

Question

Write the net ionic equation representing the neutralization of any strong acid with an ionic

hydroxide. (Hint: Consider the ions produced when a strong acid is dissolved in water.)

Answer 1

suppose we have HCl as strong acid and NaOH as strong base.

we have H⁺ , Cl^- , Na⁺ and OH^- as ions in the solution.

Na⁺ and Cl^- are the spectator ions because they will remain as ions in the solution.

so net overall ionic reaction is :

H⁺ + OH^- ---> H₂O
