Answer:

You need to have a clean surface for contact between the solution and the material.

Explanation:

The presence of impurity on the surface of the material, and lack of surface uniformity (smoothness) can reduce the effective contact between material and solution and can interfere with the electroplating process's success.

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

Kaylis [27]

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.
