Write down the molecular and ionic equations for the reactions between a nitric acid solution
Write down the molecular and ionic equations for the reactions between a nitric acid solution and: a) calcium oxide; b) sodium hydroxide; c) potassium carbonate.
a) 2HNO3 + CaO = CA (NO3) 2 + H20 – molecular equation.
2H (+) + 2NO3 (-) + Ca (2+) + O (2-) = Ca (2+) + 2NO3 (-) + H20 – complete ionic equation.
2H (+) + O (2-) = H20 is an abbreviated ionic equation.
b) HNO3 + NaOH = NaNO3 + H2O – molecular equation.
H (+) + NO3 (-) + Na (+) + OH (-) = Na (+) + NO3 (-) + H20 – complete ionic equation.
H (+) + OH (-) = H20 – abbreviated ionic equation.
c) 2HNO3 + K2CO3 = 2KNO3 + H2CO3 – molecular equation.
2H (+) + 2NO3 (-) + 2K (+) + CO3 (2-) = 2K (+) + 2NO3 (-) + H20 + CO2 – complete ionic equation.
2H (+) + CO3 (2-) = H20 + CO2 is an abbreviated ionic equation.
