Question

The net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous sulfuric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide is ________.

Answer 1

Molecular equation:
$H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2NaOH(aq)--\ \textgreater \ Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + 2H_{2}O(l) Complete ionic equation: 2H^{+}+SO_{4}^{2-} + 2Na^{+} +2OH^{-}--\ \textgreater \ 2Na^{+}+SO_{4}^{2-} + 2H_{2}O(l) Near 2H^{+},SO_{4}^{2-} , 2Na^{+} , OH^{-} should be written (aq). Remove ions that do not change from both sides 2H^{+} + 2OH^{-}=2H_{2}O Net ionic equation: H^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)=H_{2}O(l) Answer is D.$
