Net ionic equation of 2 HNO3, (ag) + Sr(OH)2, (aq) - > 2 H2O(l) + Sr(NO3 )2 (ag)

Ellias H.

To write the net ionic equation, we need to eliminate the spectator ions, which are the ions that do not participate in the reaction. In this case, the spectator ions are the nitrate ion (NO3-) and the hydroxide ion (OH-). The only ions that are involved in the reaction are the hydrogen ion (H+) and the strontium ion (Sr2+). Therefore, the net ionic equation is: 2 H+(aq) + Sr2+(aq) → 2 H2O(l) + Sr2+(aq) The nitrate and hydroxide ions are not included in the net ionic equation because they are present on both sides of the equation and do not undergo any chemical changes.
