Problem

Aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium acetate react according to the balanced molecular equation HCl(aq) + NaCH3COO(aq) → CH3COOH(aq) + NaCl(aq). Which of the following is the corresponding net ionic equation? (a) H+(aq)+CH3COO−(aq)+Na+(aq)→CH3COOH(aq)+Na+(aq)\text{H}^+(aq)+\text{CH}_{3}\text{COO}^-(aq)+\text{Na}^+(aq)\rightarrow\text{CH}_{3}\text{COOH}(aq)+\text{Na}^+(aq) (b) H+(aq)+CH3COO−(aq)→CH3COOH(aq)\text{H}^+(aq)+\text{CH}_{3}\text{COO}^-(aq)\rightarrow\text{CH}_{3}\text{COOH}(aq) (c) H+(aq)+Cl−(aq)→HCl(aq)\text{H}^+(aq)+\text{Cl}^-(aq)\rightarrow\text{HCl}(aq) (d) CH3COO−(aq)+HCl(aq)→CH3COOH(aq)+Cl−(aq)\text{CH}_{3}\text{COO}^-(aq)+\text{HCl}(aq)\rightarrow\text{CH}_{3}\text{COOH}(aq)+\text{Cl}^-(aq)
