Answer:

The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. Its length is approximately 40,000 kilometers (24,900 miles). It traces boundaries between several tectonic plates—including the Pacific, Juan de Fuca, Cocos, Indian-Australian, Nazca, North American, and Philippine Plates.

Seventy-five percent of Earth’s volcanoes—more than 450 volcanoes—are located along the Ring of Fire. Ninety percent of Earth’s earthquakes occur along its path, including the planet’s most violent and dramatic seismic events.

Which combination of reactants would result in a neutralization reaction with sodium nitrate,
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(B) HNO3 + NaOH

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the production of sodium nitrate a substance having the sodium as a cation should react with another substance having the nitrate anion. Moreover, neutralization reactions are carried out when bases react with acids, such is the case of nitric acid and sodium hydroxide:

NaOH+HNO_3\rightarrow NaNO_3+H_2O

Thus, the answer is (B) HNO3 + NaOH  as the other options involve salts rather than acids or bases as starting reactants.

Regards.
