**Chemistry Exercise: Neutralization Reaction**

Consider the chemical reaction that takes place between aqueous hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide.

**Task:**
Complete the balanced neutralization equation for the reaction below:

\[ \text{HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H}_2\text{O(l)} \]

**Response:**

*Correct!* 

**Correct Answer:**

\[ \text{HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H}_2\text{O(l)} \]

This exercise demonstrates a common neutralization reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water.

**Chemical Reaction: Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide**

Consider the chemical reaction that takes place between aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) and aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

**Task:**
Write the balanced complete ionic equation for this reaction. If no reaction occurs, simply write "NR."

**Ionic Equation Options:**
- Use the provided elements and charges to construct your equation:
  - Elements: O, Cl, OH, Na, H
  - Charges: \(0^-\), \(1^-\), \(2^-\), \(3^-\), \(4^-\), \(0^+\), \(1^+\), \(2^+\), \(3^+\), \(4^+\)
- States of matter: solid (s), liquid (l), gas (g), aqueous (aq)
- Symbols: plus (+), arrow (→)

**Notes:**
To solve this, consider the disassociation of HCl and NaOH in water and combine to form water (H₂O) and sodium chloride (NaCl). Write these reactions using charged ions:
- \( \text{H}^+ (aq) + \text{Cl}^- (aq) + \text{Na}^+ (aq) + \text{OH}^- (aq) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) + \text{Na}^+ (aq) + \text{Cl}^- (aq) \)

Cancel spectator ions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻) to form the net ionic equation:
- \( \text{H}^+ (aq) + \text{OH}^- (aq) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \)
