write the balanced net ionic equation for this reaction
Ba(OH)2+HCL-->
2H^+ + 2OH^- ==> 2H2O
To write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction between Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) and Hydrochloric acid (HCl), we need to first write the balanced molecular equation.
The balanced molecular equation for this reaction is:
Ba(OH)2 + 2HCl -> 2H2O + BaCl2
Now we need to write the total ionic equation. In a total ionic equation, all of the soluble compounds are represented as their individual ions.
Ba^2+ (aq) + 2OH^- (aq) + 2H^+ (aq) + 2Cl^- (aq) -> 2H2O (l) + Ba^2+ (aq) + 2Cl^- (aq)
Next, we can cancel out the spectator ions, which are ions that appear on both sides of the equation without undergoing a change. In this case, the spectator ions are the Ba^2+ and Cl^- ions.
2OH^- (aq) + 2H^+ (aq) -> 2H2O (l)
Finally, we have the balanced net ionic equation:
2OH^- (aq) + 2H^+ (aq) -> 2H2O (l)
Note that in this net ionic equation, the ions that are actually involved in the reaction are shown while the spectator ions are omitted.
