Question

Write ionic equations for the following:

1. HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)
2. HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H2O(l)
3. H2SO4(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) →MgSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Answer 1

A neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to

form salt and water only.

The salt produced in this neutralization reaction as follows.

HNO3 + KOH > H2O + KNO3

HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 > H2O + Ca(NO3)2

HCl +Ca(OH)2 > H2O + CaCl2

HCl + KOH > H2O + KCl.

Here acids of nitrate and chloride react with hydroxides and our product is

chloride and nitrate salt and water only.
