net ionic equation

[Dencology]

what is the net ionic equation for this rxn:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) -------> H2O(l) + NaCl (aq)

is not it H + OH- -----------> H2O
does Lq dissiciate or only aq and gases dissociate?

Net ionic reaction is H+ + OH- --> H2O (l)

Na and Cl will stay aq. in their ionic forms, Na+ and Cl-.

Na+ and Cl- will be spectator ions in this case.

 

[DRHOYA]

Na+ is usually a spectator ion, as well as K+.
