the net equation that describe the reaction between NaOH(aq) and HCL(aq) is as below
write the chemical equation
NaOH(aq) +HCl (aq) = NaCl(aq) + H2O (l)
ionic equation
Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) + H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) = Na^+ (aq) + Cl^-9aq) +H20(l)
cancel the spectators ion (ion that do not take place in a chemical equation )
that is Na^+ and Cl^- ions
the net ionic equation is therefore
= H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) = H20 (l)
