What is the most common chemical method for removing H_30^+ ions in aqueous solution? Write a net ionic equation which describes this method.

It's called titration, adding alkali to the solution. Just write any acid base titration equation.

[tex]HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H_2O[/tex]
[tex]H^+ + OH^- = H_2O[/tex]

I don't prefer [itex]H_3O^+[/itex], it's simply false sophistication.

Nope, it is called neutralization. Titration is a way of quantitative analysis.
