Writing Net lonic Equations Strong electrolytes dissociate completely in water to form their respective ions. The equation that represents this dissociation is known as the ionic equation. The equation that gives the description of all the ionic and non-ionic species present in the reaction is known as the total ionic equation, which is the same as the complete ionic equation. However, not all of the ions represented in the total ionic equation undergo the reaction. The ions that are present on both sides of the total ionic equation are known as spectator ions. When the spectator ions are removed from the total ionic equation, you get the net ionic equation. (aq) OH (aq) + H' (aq) + Cl (aq) ? Be sure to include the charges on the ionic species and the physical state of all the reactant and product species. Express your answer as a chemical equation.
