Question

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid reacts with an aqueous solution of ammonia.and find delta H

Explanation / Answer

Write the balanced Molecular: Ba(OH)2 + 2HCl -----> BaCl2 + 2H2O Since everything is soluble besides H2O, write everything as ions except water: Ba[+2] + 2OH[-] + 2H[+] + 2Cl[-] ---> Ba [2+] + 2Cl[-] + 2H2O Cancel out any ions that appear on both sides: 2H[+] + 2OH[-] ----> 2H2O Simplify: H[+] + OH[-] ----> H2O Or you could have realized it was an Acid-Base reaction, so the Net Ionic is always H[+] + OH[-] ----> H2O!
