Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of nitric acid and sodium hydroxide are combined

Question

Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s).

Answer 1

Nitric acid = HNO₃

Sodium hydroxide = NaOH

Complete molecular equation: HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) ==> NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Net ionic equation: H⁺(aq) + OH^-(aq) ==> H₂O(l)

Na⁺ and NO₃^- are spectator ions.
