Question

For the chemical reaction 2 HBr ( aq ) + Ba ( OH ) 2 ( aq ) ⟶ 2 H 2 O ( l ) + BaBr 2 ( aq ) 2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq) write the net ionic equation, including the phases.

Answer 1

Answer:

2H+ (aq) + 2OH-(aq)→ 2H2O (l)

Explanation:

Step 1: the balanced equation

2HBr(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) ⟶ 2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq)

Step 2: The net ionic equation

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side (Ba^2+ and Br-), look like this:

2H+ (aq) + 2OH-(aq)→ 2H2O (l)
