(A) Write a balenced molecular equation for the reaction between nitric acid and calcium hydroxide.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
(B) Write net ionic equation for the reaction between nitric acid and calcium hydroxide.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
Answer:
molecular: 2 HNO3 (aq)+ Ca(OH)2 (aq) = Ca(NO3)2 (aq)+ 2 H2O (l)
Total ionic: 2H+(aq) + 2NO3- (aq) + Ca2+(aq) + 2 OH- (aq) = Ca2+ (aq)+ 2 NO3- (aq)+ 2 H2O (l)
ionic net: 2H+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) = 2 H2O
(l) but you can cancel the 2. so it becomes H+(aq) + OH-(aq)= H2O(l)
