Answer 1

The balanced molecular equation for the reaction between NaCl and H₂O is 2NaCl(aq) + 2H₂O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) + Cl₂(g). The complete ionic equation is 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(l) → 2Na⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g) + Cl₂(g). The net ionic equation is 2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → 2H₂O(l).

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced molecular equation for the reaction between NaCl and H₂O is:

2NaCl(aq) + 2H₂O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) + Cl₂(g)

The complete ionic equation shows the electrolytes dissociated into ions as they exist in the water phase:

2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(l) → 2Na⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g) + Cl₂(g)

The net ionic equation is obtained by canceling out the spectator ions:

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → 2H₂O(l)
