This is simply:
Explanation:
And the complete equation:
So this is an acid base neutralization. Sodium and iodide ions are along for the ride, and remain solvated aqua ions in aqueous solution: i.e. we write
Bond making is conceived to occur between the hydronium ion,
Mass is balanced, and charge is balanced in all these equations (I think so anyway), so these are reasonable equations.
