In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).
In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.
The common neutralization reaction that involve NaOH reacting with HNO3 produces
NaNO3 and H2O
The equation for reaction is as folows NaOH + HNO3 = NaNO3 + H2O that is 1 mole of NaOH reacted with 1 mole of HNO3 to form 1 mole of NaNO3 and 1 mole of H2O
