A beaker of nitric acid is neutralized with calcium hydroxide. How do you write a balanced molecular equasion?

5 Answers

• 2HNO3(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq) ---------2H2O(L)+Ca(NO3)2(aq)

• Part A

  Write a balanced molecular equation for this reaction.

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

  Part B

  Write a net ionic equation for this reaction.

  You must include the charges...

  H+(aq)+OH−(aq)→H2O(l)

• 2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2---> 2H2O + Ca(NO3)2

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

• [2(HNO3)(aq)+[Ca(OH)2](aq) ---------2[H2O](L)+[Ca(NO3)2](aq)
