Final answer:

The net ionic equation for the reaction between perchloric acid (HClO4) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is simply H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) → H2O (l), which represents the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by sodium hydroxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net ionic equation for the reaction between perchloric acid (HClO4) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in aqueous solution simplifies to the reaction of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. The full ionic equation for this neutralization reaction is:

H+ (aq) + ClO4- (aq) + Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) → Na+ (aq) + ClO4- (aq) + H2O (l)

Since sodium (Na+) and perchlorate (ClO4-) ions are spectator ions, they are not included in the net ionic equation, which simplifies to:

H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) → H2O (l)
