Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction.

Question

Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction. That is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. Be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (You can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.)

Note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation.

____ -> KNO₂(aq) + H₂O(I)

Answer 1

KNO₂ and H₂O look like the products of an acid base neutralization reaction.

In that case the reactants would be HNO₂ and KOH, and the balanced equation is

HNO₂(aq) + KOH(aq) -—> KNO₂(aq) + H₂O(l)
