Net ionic equation question?

Question

HCl(aq) + NH3(aq) → NH4Cl(aq)

im having some trouble with this reaction for my chemistry class, what would the net ionic equation be and why?

Answer 1

H+(aq) + NH3(aq) → NH4+(aq)  

Answer 2

In a net ionic equation, you split everything that CAN be split into ions, then cross out the spectator ions.

HCl(aq) + NH3(aq) => NH4Cl(aq)

H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + NH3(aq) => NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

HCl is a strong electrolyte so it splits into H+ and Cl-. NH3 is a weak electrolyte that does NOT split to any apreciable extent. NH4Cl is a soluble salt so it splits into ions.

Crossing out the spectator (Cl-) gives you

H+(aq) + NH3(aq) => NH4+(aq)
