Question

For the chemical reaction 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:

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

We break the compounds into ions. Only compounds in the aqueous form can be turned into ions.

The ionic equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq)  +  2Br⁻(aq)  + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)   --> 2H2O(l)  +  Ba²⁺(aq)  + 2Br⁻(aq)

Upon eliminating the spectator ions; The net equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)  --> 2H2O(l)
