Question

molecular formula, ionic, and net ionic formula for Nitric acid + sodium hydroxide, yields sodium nitrate

Answer 1

Hi Dear Friend, as per your request i am gonna give you answer here below.

1. Balanced equation: HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

2. Total ionic: H⁺(aq) + NO₃^-(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH^-(aq) → NO₃^-(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)

3. Net Ionic: H⁺(aq) + OH^-(aq) → H₂O(l)

NO₃^-(aq) and Na⁺(aq) - both appear at reactant side & product side, hence these two are spectator ions and we must omit them in net ionic equation.

Hope this helped you!
