When NaOH reacts with HCl, the net ionic equation for the reaction is: A)H⁺ + OH^- → H₂O B)Na⁺ + Cl^- → NaCl C)NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O D)NaOH → Na⁺ + OH^- E)HCl → H⁺ + Cl^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net ionic equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCl is H+ + OH- → H2O. This is because the sodium and chloride ions are spectator ions and do not participate in the reaction.
