Answer:
HCHO₂(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)
Explanation:
An ionic equation uses the symbols (aq) [aqueous] to indicate molecules and ions that are soluble in water, (s) [solid] to indicate insoluble solids, and (ℓ) to indicate substances (usually water) in the liquid state.
In this reaction, aqueous sodium hydroxide reacts with aqueous formic acid to form sodium formate and water.
1. Molecular equation
HCHO₂(aq) + NaOH(aq) ⟶ NaCHO₂(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)
2. Ionic equation
Sodium hydroxide and sodium formate are soluble ionic compounds, so we write them as hydrated ions.
HCHO₂(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

Enzymes and proteins are extremely susceptible to pH changes which causes them to denature (lose the shape that gives them function). This denaturing is permanent for enzymes. A slight pH change could severely damage organ systems reducing there efficiency or completely halting their processes.
