Why is the net ionic equation for hf and koh this hf aq plus oh aq yields h2o l plus f- aq and not h plus aq plus oh- aq yields h2o l and why is f in hf a spectator ion in other aq reactions?

From what I've been told, because HF is a weak acid and therefore a weak electrolyte you are not supposed to break it up into cations and anions. Not sure how you would be getting F- as a spectator in other aq reactions, unless there's an extra rule that I simply haven't been taught.

How is a net ionic equation written from a ionic equation?
the spectator ions are removed
Can the total ionic equation shows the net change in the equation after spectator ions been removed?
The total ionic equation shows all of the equation, even the spectator ions. The net ionic equation shows the net change after spectator ions have been removed.
What happens to a spectator ion in a net ionic equation?
A spectator ion is an ion that does not take part in the reaction. If you write out a normal equation. look for something that is the same on both sides and does not change state. This is a spectator ion and can be crossed out of the net ionic equation
What components are included in a net ionic equation?
A net ionic equation includes only the components that are active in the reaction. Spectator ions are removed, unlike in total ionic equations.
What is a net ionic equation what species are shown in such an equation and which species are not shown?
A net ionic equation only includes those components that are directly involved in the reaction. Spectator ions are not included.

How is a net ionic equation from a complete ionic equation?

Which ions in a total ionic equation are called spectator ionswhy?
In ionic equations the spectator ions are the ions that do not form a solute in the reactants side. They will have the symbol aq (for aqueous or in water)after it showing that is has not precipitated into a solid.
What chemicals are present in a net ionic equation?
The are only soluble ions without spectator ions.
Can the complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation for a double replacement reaction ever be the same?
Yes. If both compounds are insoluable in water then the complete/overall ionic equation and the net ionic equation will look the same. The only way they look different is if there are spectator ions(ions that appear on both sides of the equation).
What is the net ionic equation for cuso4aq plus bacl2aq yields to baso2s plus cucl2aq?

Ions that appear in identical forms on both sides of a total ionic equation are referred to as?
Spectator Ions
What does not appear in a net ionic equation because it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction?
Spectator Ions. YEA BUDDY!
