A redox reaction --> a reaction whereby oxidation & reduction occurs
Reduction:
Charge of Cl2 = 0
Charge of Cl- in NaCl = -1
Hence, since charge of Cl2 decreased from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl, reduction occured.
Oxidation:
Charge of Na = 0
Charge of Na+ in NaCl = +1
Hence, since charge of Na increased from 0 in Na to +1 in NaCl, oxidation occured.
Since both oxidation & reduction occured in the reaction, it is a redox reaction.
Answer:
allows the atoms of different elements to bond together to form new substances
Answer:
Ionic equation:
Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)
Balanced chemical equation:
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)
Ionic equation:
Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)
Net ionic equation:
OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) → H₂O(l)
The Cl⁻(aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.
Spectator ions:
These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
