Colin Ford · Answer 1

2H + (aq) + 2OH - (aq) → 2H2O (l)

Explanation:

Step 1: the balanced equation

2HBr (aq) + Ba (OH) 2 (aq) ⟶ 2H2O (l) + BaBr2 (aq)

Step 2: The net ionic equation

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will, after canceling those spectator ions in both side (Ba^2 + and Br-), look like this:

2H + (aq) + 2OH - (aq) → 2H2O (l)
