Ionic Equations

[methodsboy]

hey
i need urgent help ! 
i forgot how to write ionic equations for acid/base reactions.

Could someone please explain how to write an ionic equation for this acid/base reaction:

HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)             

Thankyou

i'm not 100% certain ( just started studying it a week ago) but i think its:
H+ (aq) + oh-(aq) --> h2o(l)

Step one is to identify your aqueous solutions as ions and your molecules as molecules

So you have



Then you eliminate the spectator ions, or those that remain unchanged either side of the equation. That leaves you with:

yeh thats right.
i loved this topic alot,.
Though i sort of forgot how to do it also.
when you said aqueous, then it came to my mind
