Hey there! Let's get that problem solved!
First: Let's define, "solution."
Solution: <span>a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).
Next: Ask yourself, "can a solution be taken apart?"
In some cases, yes. It can.
The solution of salt water for example, can be physically separated by evaporation. (place salt-water in a pot on a heated stove, place the cover to the pot on the opening, wait a few minutes, remove the top, and you can (and taste) the water without the salt!) </span><span />
Sodium is considered to be a transitional metal
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to figure out the required net ionic equation by firstly writing out the complete molecular equation between aspirin and sodium acetate:

Whereas acetic acid and sodium acetylsalicylate are formed. Now, we write the complete ionic equation whereby sodium acetate and sodium acetylsalicylate are ionized because they are salts yet neither aspirin nor acetic acid are ionized as they are weak acids:

Finally, for the net ionic equation we cancel out the sodium spectator ions to obtain:
