Question

Net ionic reaction of HClO2 and NaOH?

Answer 1

Do you know how to start this off?

Answer 2

Start with the molecular format -

\(\large HClO_{2~(aq)} +NaOH_{(aq)} \rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}+NaClO_{2~(aq)} \)

Answer 3

Now move to total ionic -

\(\large H_{(aq)}^+~+ ClO_{2~(aq)}^-~+Na_{(aq)}^+~+OH_{(aq)}^- \rightarrow ~H_2O_{(l)}+Na_{(aq)}^+ ClO_{2~(aq)}^-\)

Answer 4

For the net ionic, just get rid of the "spectator ions."

Answer 5

So you're left with H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O(l)? Thanks btw

Answer 6

correct :)
