Question

Write balanced complete ionic equation for NaOH + HC2H3O2——> H2O + NaC2H3O2

Answer 1

The balanced complete ionic equation for
`\(NaOH + HC_2H_3O_2 \rightarrow H_2O + NaC_2H_3O_2\)` includes the dissociation of ions in the aqueous solution, reflecting the ionic nature of the reaction.

The given chemical equation involves the reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and acetic acid (
`\(HC_2H_3O_2\)`) to produce water (
`\(H_2O\)`) and sodium acetate (
`\(NaC_2H_3O_2\)`).

The balanced complete ionic equation for this reaction is as follows:

`\[ Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) + H^+(aq) + C_2H_3O_2^-(aq) \rightarrow H_2O(l) + Na^+(aq) + C_2H_3O_2^-(aq) \]`

This equation represents the dissociation of the reactants and products into their respective ions in the aqueous solution.
