Question

Write a balanced net ionic equation for each of the following acid–base reactions. Refer to the table below and Appendix D in the textbook for electrolyte information.


2HC2H3O2(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→Ca(C2H3O2)2(aq)+2H2O(l)
Express your answer as a net ionic equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

Complete ionic: Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) + 2 CH3COO- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) --> 2 H2O (l) + Ca2+ (aq) + 2 CH3COO- (aq)

Net ionic : 2OH^-_(aq) + 2H⁺ _(aq) = 2H₂O_(l)
