Question

Nitric acid, HNO3, and calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 net ionic equation:

Answer 1

Answer:

2H⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → 2H₂O (l)

General Formulas and Concepts:

• Solubility Rules
• Strong Acids/Bases

Explanation:

Step 1: RxN

HNO₃ (aq) + Ca(OH)₂ (aq) → Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Step 2: Balance RxN

2HNO₃ (aq) + Ca(OH)₂ (aq) → Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

Step 3: Ionic Equations

Total Ionic Equation:

2H⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

Cancel out spectator ions.

Net Ionic Equation:

2H⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → 2H₂O (l)
