Aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium acetate react according to the balanced molecular equation
HCl(aq) + NaCH3COO(aq) → CH3COOH(aq) + NaCl(aq).
Which of the following is the corresponding net ionic equation?
a) H+(aq)+CH3COO−(aq)+Na+(aq)→CH3COOH(aq)+Na+(aq)
b) H+(aq)+CH3COO−(aq)→CH3COOH(aq)
c) H+(aq)+Cl−(aq)→HCl(aq)
d) CH3COO−(aq)+HCl(aq)→CH3COOH(aq)+Cl−(aq)
