Exercise on Neutralization Reactions & Salts: Solutions

Question: Complete the neutralization reactions & salts equations (Molecular Equation & Net Ionic Equation) of the following:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq) (Molecular Equation)
H+(aq) + Cl(aq) + Na+ + OH(aq) → H2O(l) + Na+ + Cl(aq)

H+(aq) + OH(aq) → H2O(l) (Net Ionic Equation)


If one of the reactants is insoluble in water (weak base) such as "Milk of Magnesia" (Mg(OH)2):
2HCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s) → H2O(l) + MgCl2(aq) (Molecular Equation)

2H+(aq) + 2Cl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s) → 2H2O(l) + Mg2++ 2Cl(aq)

2H+(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s) → 2H2O(l) + Mg2+(Net Ionic Equation)
