Which equation represents the correct net ionic equation for the reaction between Ca(OH)2 and H2SO4? Upper H superscript plus, plus upper O upper H superscript minus right arrow upper H subscript 2 upper O.
2 upper H superscript plus, plus 2 upper O upper H superscript minus right arrow upper H subscript 2 upper O.
Upper C a superscript 2 plus, plus 2 upper O upper H superscript minus, plus upper S upper O subscript 4 superscript 2 minus right arrow upper C a superscript 2 plus, plus upper S upper O subscript 4 superscript 2 minus, plus 2 upper H subscript 2 upper O.
Upper C a (upper O upper H) subscript 2 plus upper H subscript 2 upper S upper O subscript 4 right arrow upper C a upper S upper O subscript 4 plus 2 upper H subscript 2 upper O.

The correct net ionic equation for the reaction is

Explanation:

Net ionic equation is defined as the equations in which spectator ions are not included.

Spectator ions are the ones that are present equally on the reactant and product sides. They do not participate in the reaction.  

The balanced molecular equation is:

The complete ionic equation follows:

As calcium and sulfate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.

The net ionic equation follows:

Hence, the correct net ionic equation for the reaction is

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
