The net ionic equation of the reaction could be determined by cancelling out the like ions between both sides of the reaction. These ions are called spectator ions. They are called as such because they do not actively participate in the reaction. The spectator ions are Na+ and Cl-. When you cancel those, the equation would become letter D.

The net ionic equation for the reaction given in the question is:

C₂H₃O₂¯(aq) + H⁺(aq) —> HC₂H₃O₂

(Option D)

What is a chemical equation?

Chemical equations are representations of chemical reactions using symbols and formula of the reactants and products.

The reactants are located on the left side while the products are located on the right side.

Reactants —> Products

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

How to write the net ionic equation

The net ionic equation can be written as follow:

Na⁺(aq) + C₂H₃O₂¯(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl¯(aq) —> Na⁺(aq) + Cl¯(aq) + HC₂H₃O₂

Cancel the spectator ions (Na⁺ and Cl¯) to obtain the net ionic equation

C₂H₃O₂¯(aq) + H⁺(aq) —> HC₂H₃O₂
