Answer:
OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇒ H₂O(l)
Explanation:
Let's consider the molecular equation that occurs when aqueous solutions of lithium hydroxide and hydrobromic acid undergo a neutralization reaction.
LiOH(aq) + HBr(aq) ⇒ LiBr(aq) + H₂O(l)
The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.
Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq) ⇒ Li⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)
The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.
OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇒ H₂O(l)
