For J. 9., when do we separate H+ from the acid?

J. 9. says: Identify the salt that is produced from the acid–base neutralization reaction between (a) potassium hydroxide and acetic acid,
CH 3 COOH; (b) ammonia and phosphoric acid; (c) calcium
hydroxide and bromous acid; (d) sodium hydroxide and hydrosulfuric acid, H2S (both H atoms react). Write the complete ionic
equation for each reaction.
I've noticed in the answer key, the ionic equation sometimes separates H+ from the acid on the reactant side and sometimes it leaves the acid as it is. Is there a reason why?
