HNO3+KOH = H2O+KNO3 . When nitric acid react with pottasuim hydroxide, the reaction will produce water (H20) and pottasuim trioxonitrate

Answer:
KNO_3 and
H_2O

Explanation: When an acid reacts with the base then it undergoes neutralization to form salt and water.

In the given case nitric acid is the acid as it donates
H^+ ions and potassium hydroxide is the base as it gives
OH^- ions. When nitric acid react with potassium hydroxide base, potassium nitrate
(KNO_3) is formed as a salt and water
(H_2O) is formed.

The balanced reaction will be,


HNO_3(aq)+KOH(aq)\rightarrow KNO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)
