Question

Predict the products of the reaction below. That is, complete the right-hand side of the chemical equation. Be sure your equation is balanced and contains state symbols after every reactant and product.

HNO3+ H2O → ______

Answer 1

Answer:

HNO₃ (aq) —> H⁺ (aq) + NO₃¯ (aq)

Explanation:

From the question given above

HNO₃ + H₂O —> ?

Nitric acid, HNO₃ reacts with water, H₂O to form aqueous solution of nitric acid as illustrated below:

HNO₃ + H₂O —> HNO₃ (aq)

Nitric acid is a strong acid and, so will ionised completely when dissolved in water. This is illustrated below:

HNO₃ (aq) —> H⁺ (aq) + NO₃¯ (aq)
