When aqueous solutions of sodium acetate and hydroiodic acid are mixed, an aqueous solution of sodium iodide and acetic acid results. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction. Solution Net ionic equation will represent equation without spectator ions Balanced chemcial equation Na(CH 3 COO) + HI ---------------------------> NaI + CH3COOH ionic equation Na + (aq) + CH3COO - (aq) + H + (aq) + I - (aq) ------------------------> Na + (aq) + I - (aq) + CH3COO - (aq) + H + (aq) since all are spectator ions there is no net ionic equation .
