What is the net ionic equation for the neutralization of a strong acid and a strong base?
A$Na^+ + Cl^- \rightarrow NaCl$
B$H^+ + OH^- \rightarrow H_2O$
C$HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O$
D$H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow H_2O$
✓ Correct Answer: B — $H^+ + OH^- \rightarrow H_2O$
In all strong acid-strong base neutralizations, the net change is the combination of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions to form water.
