Question

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of NaHCO3 NaHCO3 and HC2H3O2HC2H3O2

Answer 1

Explanation:

The net ionic equation of a reaction is obtained from the complete ionic equation after removing the spectator ions.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with acetic acid is shown below:

$NaHCO_3(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)->CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

The complete ionic equation is:

$Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)+CH_3COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->CH_3COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

The net ionic equation is:

$HCO_3^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

Answer:The net ionic equation is shown below:

$HCO_3^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$
