Chapter 9, Problem 95A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The net ionic equation for the given reaction needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Chemical reaction is the actual process in which atoms of one or more substances rearrange to form new substances.

Answer to Problem 95A

The net ionic equation is as follows:

${\text{H}}^{+}\left(aq\right)+{\text{OH}}^{-}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(l\right)$

Explanation of Solution

The compound which dissociates in water and separate cation and anion is expressed by ionic compounds. Ionic reaction occurs in aqueous solution and it forms water molecule. Therefore the net ionic equation is as follows:

${\text{H}}^{+}\left(aq\right)+{\text{OH}}^{-}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(l\right)$

Conclusion

Ionic reaction occurs in aqueous solution and it forms water molecule. The net ionic equation is as follows:

${\text{H}}^{+}\left(aq\right)+{\text{OH}}^{-}\left(aq\right)\to {\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(l\right)$
