Explanation:
The net ionic equation of a reaction is obtained from the complete ionic equation after removing the spectator ions.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with acetic acid is shown below:
[tex]NaHCO_3(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)->CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)[/tex]
The complete ionic equation is:
[tex]Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)+CH_3COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->CH_3COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)[/tex]
The net ionic equation is:
[tex]HCO_3^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)[/tex]
Answer:The net ionic equation is shown below:
[tex]HCO_3^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)[/tex]
