How should you approach an ionic equation question?

Answer 1

1~ Write balanced equation
2~ Include state symbols
3~ Write charges of each ion (only aq solutions)
4~ Cross out spectator ions that don’t change charge.
5~ Write out the simplified formula.

Final answer should look similar to this:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) —> H₂O(l)
