Question

Would the net ionic equation for ClO2 + H2O be
ClO2 +H2O ---> ClH + HO3 ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An ionic equation is defined as the reaction equation in which all the species involved are present in the form of ions. And, this type of equation will be balanced when it contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example,
`ClO_(2) + H_(2)O \rightarrow ClH _ HO_(3)` this equation can be balanced and represented in ionic form as follows.

`ClO^(-)_(2)(aq) +H_(2)O(l) \rightarrow HClO_(2) + OH^(-)`
