Question

Write the net ionic equation for HClO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> H2O (l) + NaClO4(aq)

Answer 1

\[H ^{+}+OH ^{-} \rightarrow H _{2}O\]

Answer 2

The Na and ClO4 are still in solution, so they don't count.

Answer 3

ok so the molecules that don't break down are the ones that end up as solids or liquids on the right hand side of the equation? all the aq's break down?

Answer 4

Yep, aq is aqueous, which means they are dissolved in water.

Answer 5

Thank you =)
