How do you write the net ionic equation for the chemical reaction

Question

write the net reaction of : HClO2(aq)+NaOH(aq) ->H2O(l) +NaClO2(aq)

Answer 1

Since HClO₂ is a weak acid, we do not ionize it, so it appears as it is. NaOH is a strong base and will dissociate completely, so we show these as ions. H₂O is a liquid, so we leave it as is, and NaClO₂ is a soluble salt, so again, we can dissociate it into it's ions. Thus, we have the following complete ionic equation..

HClO₂(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH^-(aq) ==> H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + ClO₂^-(aq)

Canceling spectator ions, we end up with the following net ionic equation...

HClO₂(aq) + OH^- ==> H₂O(l) + ClO₂^-(aq)

Answer 2

HClO₂(aq) + OH^-(aq) -----> H₂O (l) +ClO₂^-(aq)
