Write the net ionic equation for each reaction. (Include the states of matter for each reactant and product.)
a. HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) |
b. H2SO4(aq) + KOH(aq) |
a)
we have below given equation
HNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> NaNO3 (aq) + H2O (l)
Total ionic equation is
Spectator ions should not be removed here. Spectator ions are part of total ionic equation
H+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) + Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) --> Na+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) + H2O (l)
Spectator ions should be removed now. Spectator ions are not part of total ionic equation
After removing Spectator ions, net ionic equation is:
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) —> H2O (l)
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) —> H2O (l)
b)
we have below given equation
H2SO4 (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) --> K2SO4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)
Total ionic equation is
Spectator ions should not be removed here. Spectator ions are part of total ionic equation
2 H+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) + 2 K+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) --> 2 K+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) + 2 H2O (l)
Spectator ions should be removed now. Spectator ions are not part of total ionic equation
After removing Spectator ions, net ionic equation is:
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) --> H2O (l)
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) —> H2O (l)
