Question

What is the result of a neutralization reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and potassium hydroxide (KOH)?

Answer 1

Answer: $KNO_3$ and $H_2O$

Explanation: When an acid reacts with the base then it undergoes neutralization to form salt and water.

In the given case nitric acid is the acid as it donates $H^+$ ions and potassium hydroxide is the base as it gives $OH^-$ ions. When nitric acid react with potassium hydroxide base,  potassium nitrate $(KNO_3)$ is formed as a salt and water $(H_2O)$ is formed.

The balanced reaction will be,

$HNO_3(aq)+KOH(aq)\rightarrow KNO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Answer 2

HNO3+KOH = H2O+KNO3 . When nitric acid react with pottasuim hydroxide, the reaction will produce water (H20) and pottasuim trioxonitrate
