Answer:
The final balanced equation is
Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+
Explanation:
It is given that sodium hydroxide is added to collect the solid nickel(II) hydroxide product
The empirical equation for this statement is
Ni2+ + NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + Na+
We will first balance the hydroxide molecule. On the right side there are two OH molecules.
Thus, on the left side we will take 2 sodium hydroxide
Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + Na+
Now we will balance the sodium ion which are 2 in numbers on the left side and 1 on the right side
Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+
So, the final balanced equation is
Ni2+ + 2NaOH --> Ni (OH)2 + 2Na+
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
According to Bronsted-Lowry, an acid is a proton donor while a base is a proton acceptor.
Hence, if we consider the reaction above, we will notice that for each base there is a conjugate acid and for each acid there is a conjugate base.
For the acid HNO3, its conjugate base is NO3^- while for the acid H3O^+, its conjugate base is H2O.
