Question

Write a net ionic equation for this reaction.Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.ANSWER:

Answer 1

Given the reaction:

`2HNO_3+Ca(OH)_2\to Ca(NO_3)_2+2H_2O`

We're going to write a net ionic equation for this reaction as follows:

1. First, write the total ionic equation:

`^{}Ca^(2+)_(aq)+2OH^-_(aq)+2H^+_{aq_{}}+2NO^-_3\to^{}Ca^(2+)_(aq)+2NO^-_3+2H_2O`

2. Now, we could cancel the same type of ions that are in both sides of the reaction. Therefore, the net ionic equation is:

`H^+_(aq)+^{}OH^-_(aq)\to H_2O_((l))`
