Answer:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) = H₂O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the net ionic equation start by finding the balanced equation.

2HClO₄(aq) + Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ 2H₂O(l) + Ba(ClO₄)₂(aq)

Then put it into the ionic equation.

2H⁺(aq) + 2ClO₄(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) ⇒ 2H₂O(l) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2ClO₄(aq)

Remove all the ions that do not change.

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) ⇒ 2H₂O(l)

And reduce to the lowest common coefficient.

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) = H₂O(l)
