Naming binary (two-element) covalent compounds is similar to naming simple ionic compounds. The first element in the formula is simply listed using the name of the element. The second element is named by taking the stem of the element name and adding the suffix -ide.
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
