This should be easy but I feel there is something I am mission
I need to write the net ionic equations and then add #1 & #2 and compare to #3.
Equation #1 - write net ionic equation for dissolution of solid NaOH in water
Equation: NaOH (s) + H2O --> Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) + H2O (l)
Net: NaOH (s) --> Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
(it says in the book to separate strong bases such as NaOH but if I do all ions cancel out?)
Equation #2 - write net ionic equation for aqueous soloutions of NaOH & HCl
Equation: NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) ---> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
Net: OH- (aq) + H+ (aq) --> H2O (l)
Equation 3: Solid NaOH and aqueous HCl
Equation: NaOH (s) + HCl (aq) ---> NaCl (aq) + H2O
OH- (s) + H+ (aq) --> H2O (l)
Add #1 & #2
This is where I get lost. I think it should be net equation #2. The difference is in the solid/aqueous state.
thanks
