Question

answer the following questions and be sure to include all physical state symbols. note: reference the general solubility rules for ionic compounds in water table for additiona part 1 of 4 complete and balance the following equation: $\ce{naoh(aq) + hcl(aq) \to nacl(aq) + h_{2}o(l)}$ part: $1 / 4$ part 2 of 4 write the ionic equation.

Explanation:

Step1: Write the dissociation of reactants and products

NaOH(aq) dissociates into Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq), HCl(aq) dissociates into H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq), NaCl(aq) dissociates into Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq), and H₂O(l) remains as it is.

Step2: Substitute into the equation

Substitute the dissociated forms into the original equation:
Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)

Answer:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)
