Question

Consider the reaction below.

Upper N a superscript plus, plus upper C subscript 2 upper H subscript 3 upper O subscript 2 superscript minus (a q) plus upper H superscript plus, plus upper C l superscript minus right arrow upper N a superscript plus, plus upper C l superscript minus plus upper H upper subscript 2 upper H subscript 3 upper O subscript 2.

Which is the net ionic equation for the reaction?
Upper H superscript plus, plus upper C l superscript minus right arrow upper H upper C l.
Upper N a superscript plus, plus upper C l superscript minus right arrow upper N a upper C l.
Upper N a superscript plus, plus upper C subscript 2 upper H subscript 3 upper o subscript 2 superscript minus (a q) plus upper H superscript plus, right arrow upper N a upper C subscript 2 upper H subscript 3 upper O subscript 2.
Upper C subscript 2 upper h subscript 3 upper O subscript 2 superscript minus (a q) plus upper H superscript plus right arrow upper H upper C subscript 2 upper H subscript 3 upper O subscript 2.

Answer 1

C2H3O2^- (aq) + H+ (aq) → HC2H3O2 (aq)

Na+ and Cl^- are spectators, so they are omitted from the net ionic equation.
