H2O is the same thing as HOH correct?

Does it matter which one you use in a Double Replacement Reaction? To me personally, HOH is easier to balance. Would I get marked down if I left HOH in my balanced reaction, if technically speaking, both are interchangable?

You wouldn't get marked down by me. I don't know about others but I suspect all will accept HOH as well as H2O. I, too, find it easier to balance in many cases using HOH.
