Question

Write the total AND net ionic equation between aqueous solutions of H2C2O4 and NaOH.

balanced equation:

h2c2o4+2NaOH= na2c2o4+2h2o

Answer 1

Answer 2

The total ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous solutions of H2C2O4 and NaOH can be written by showing all the ions in the reaction:

H2C2O4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2C2O4(aq) + 2H2O(l) 2H+(aq) + C2O4 2-(aq) + 2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2Na+(aq) + C2O4 2-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The net ionic equation can be obtained by eliminating the spectator ions (ions that appear on both sides of the equation):

2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)

Therefore, the net ionic equation is 2H+ + 2OH- → 2H2O.
