Final answer:

The balanced chemical equation for the dissociation of hydrazoic acid is HN3(aq) → H+(aq) + N3-(aq), and it doesn't fully dissociate as it is a weak acid. However, nitric acid, HNO3(aq), dissociates completely, represented by HNO3(aq) → H+(aq) + NO3-(aq).

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the dissociation of hydrazoic acid (HN3) is:

HN3(aq) → H+(aq) + N3-(aq)

This reaction does not proceed 100% to products as hydrazoic acid is a weak acid and only partially dissociates in solution.

The balanced chemical equation for the dissociation of nitric acid is:

HNO3(aq) → H+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

Nitric acid is a strong acid, which means it dissociates completely in water.

Answer:

I can't do that but this is the best I can do for you :(

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitric acid, HNO3(aq), breaks up into ions (a cation and an anion) in a water solution.
