HNO₃(aq) +Ca(OH)₂(aq) --> H₂O(l) + Ca(NO₃)₂(aq)
It is Ca(NO₃)₂ because NO₃ has a charge of -1, and Ca has a charge of 2+. And when writing an ionic compound, you take the charge of 1 and write it as the subscript of the other.
Now let's balance the equation and then find the net ionic equation.
2HNO₃(aq) +Ca(OH)₂(aq) --> 2H₂O(l) + Ca(NO₃)₂(aq)
2H⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H₂O(l) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)
We can get rid of the spectator ions. These are the ions that are on both sides.
We are left with
2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H₂O(l)
We can simplify the net ionic equation down to
H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) --> H₂O(l)
Percent Composition by Mass. Percent composition is calculated from a molecular formula by dividing the mass of a single element in one mole of a compound by the mass of one mole of the entire compound. This value is presented as a percentage.
The best answer. :)
You would need to isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable. So, the answer would be
x = 2.2
