Question

Write the balcanced molecular and net ionic equation for the acid-base reaction:

Answer 1

Explanation: For the given acid-base reaction, The molecular equation is:

Molecular equation: $HNO_3(aq.)+CH_3NH_2(aq.)\rightarrow CH_3NH_3^+(aq.)+NO_3^-(aq.)$

As we know, $HNO_3$ is a strong acid, so in the ionic equation, it will completely dissociate into its respective ions.

The ionic equation for the given acid-base reaction is given by:

$H^+(aq.)+NO_3^-(aq.)+CH_3NH_2(aq.)\rightarrow CH_3NH_3^+(aq.)+NO_3^-(aq.)$

As nitrate ions are present on both the sides, so in the net ionic equation, it will get cancelled out, then the net ionic equation becomes:

Net ionic equation: $H^+(aq.)+CH_3NH_2(aq.)\rightarrow CH_3NH_3^+(aq.)$
