I showed you how to do the last one. You try this one. Just follow the rule.
weak acids, weak bases, water, insoluble substances(solids; i.e., ppts), gases all written as molecules.
All others written as ions.
For the following,
2HBr (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) ---> 2H2O (l) + BaBr2 (aq)
write the net ionic equation including the phases

2HBr (aq) +OH^-(aq)----> 2H2O (l)+Br2^-(aq)???
2HBr (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) ---> 2H2O (l) + BaBr2 (aq)
No, HBr is a strong acid. Ba(OH)2 is a strong base and you've handled that ok. Bromide exists as Br^- and not Br2^- so the way you do that is 2Br^-
Why don't we do this the long way?
You have the balanced molecular equation. Next step is to convert it to the total ionic e3quation like this.
2H^+ + 2Br^- + 2K^+ + 2OH^- ==> H2O + Ba^2+ + 2Br^-
Now cancel the ions common to both sides; i.e., 2H^+ does not cancel, 2Br^- does, 2K^+ does, 2OH^- does not.. Net ionic equation is
2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ==> 2H2O(l)
