Can someone tell me the full formula and net ion equation for these? I can't seem to get them right even thought I think my answers are right.

a.NaClO(aq) + HCl(aq) →
( I got NaClO(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -> Cl2(aq) + NaCl(s) + H2O(l))

b. NaOH(aq) + HClO(aq) →
(The formula is NaOH(aq) + HClO(aq) → NaClO(aq) + H2O(l) but I can't get the net ionic equation right!)

c. FeI3(aq) + KOH(aq) →
(The formula is FeI3(aq) + 3KOH(aq) → Fe(OH)3(s) + 3KI(aq), but I can't get this net ionic equation right either

Try following

make all the ions explicit

Na⁺ + ClO^- + 2H⁺  + 2Cl^-  Cl₂(aq) + Na⁺ + Cl^-(s) + H₂O(l))

Get rid of duplicates (Na⁺ and 1 Cl^- : sometimes called spectator ions)

ClO^- + 2H⁺  + Cl^-  Cl₂(aq) +  H₂O

A bit difficult to split this further into half-ionic equations because the only equations that make sense are:

ClO^- + H⁺  + Cl^-  Cl₂(aq) +  OH^-

H⁺  H⁺
