Separate this into the net molecular equation first.
H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) + Li^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) ==> Li^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) + H2O(l)
To turn this into the NET ionic equation, just cancel those species that appear on both sides. So you cancel Cl^-(aq) on the left and right and cancel Li^+(aq) on left and right to leave
H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) ==> H2O(l)
The Li^+ and Cl^- are spectator ions.
HCl(aq) + LiOH(aq)--> H2O(l) + LiCl(aq)
Did I do this right? I need help on finding the net ionic equation
