Question

Need help with net ionic equation for weak acid/base neutralization.

Answer 1

Aqueous acetic acid is neutralized by aqueous barium hydroxide.

Answer 2

\[Ba(OH)_{2}(aq)+2CH _{3}OOH(aq) \rightarrow 2H _{2}O(l)+Ba(CH _{3}OO)_{2}(aq)\]

Answer 3

that is the balanced equation

Answer 4

\[Ba ^{2+}(aq)+2OH ^{-}(aq)+2H ^{+}(aq)+2CH _{3}OO ^{-}(aq)\rightarrow2H _{2}O(l)+Ba(CH _{3}OO)_{2}(aq)\]

Answer 5

chould be the balanced ionic equation

Answer 6

Getting rid of the spectator ions should leave 2H and 2OH

Answer 7

\[H ^{+}(aq)+OH ^{-}(aq)\rightarrow H _{2}O(l)\]

Answer 8

but I am told by mastering chemistry, "This is not the expected net ionic reaction when the reaction involves a weak acid such as acetic acid."

Answer 9

So I tried \[CH _{3}OOH(aq)+OH ^{-}(aq)\rightarrow H _{2}O(l)+CH _{3}OO ^{-}(aq)\]

Answer 10

Still wrongaccording to mastering chemistry

Answer 11

I believe it is:
\[CH_3OOH(aq) + H_2O (l) \rightarrow H_3O^+ (aq)+ CH_3OO^- (aq)\]
