Write down the molecular and ionic equations of the reactions occurring when the solutions are drained

Write down the molecular and ionic equations of the reactions occurring when the solutions are drained: a) nitric acid and calcium hydroxide; b) hydrochloric acid and potassium carbonate.

a) Nitric acid + calcium hydroxide:

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

Now we write the equation in ionic form:

2H + + 2NO3- + Ca2 + + 2OH- + Ca2 + + 2NO3- -> 2H + + 2OH- -> 2H2O.

b) Hydrochloric acid + potassium carbonate:

2HCl + K2CO3 -> 2KCl + H2CO3.

Now we write the equation in ionic form.

2H + + 2Cl- + 2K + + CO32- + 2K + + 2Cl- -> 2H + + CO32- -> H2CO3.
