Question

For the chemical reaction 2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq) write the net ionic equation, including the phases.

Answer 1

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H2O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq)

We break the compounds into ions. Only compounds in the aqueous form can be turned into ions.

The ionic equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H2O(l) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq)

Upon eliminating the spectator ions; The net equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H2O(l)
