AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the neutralization reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). Participants clarify that the correct products of this reaction are calcium nitrate and water, emphasizing the ionic nature of the reaction due to both being strong acid and base. There is confusion regarding the notation of hydroxide ions, with a correction made about the proper representation of chemical formulas. Additionally, users are encouraged to format their equations correctly using forum tools instead of images. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the dissociation of compounds in solution for accurate chemical representation.

i need to Write the Response Neutralization Equation between Acid solution HNO3 and the solution Ca(OH)2 Calcium hydroxide (base).

in the picture you can see my answer and tell me if i correct.

thanks.

No, not really where did you get OH2- species from?
 
Only somewhat correct. You are not clear about what your actual reactants and products are. Calcium hydroxide might be treated as a strong base, and nitric acid is a strong acid, so you have an ionic reaction. In your example, simple neutralization. Products are a salt (guess which one) and water.
 
Omni, please learn how to use forum editor to format correctly your equations. Attaching them as pictures doesn't make sense.

When you start a message you have a set of buttons over the edit field. Two of them are X2 and X2. If you mark part of the text and click one of these buttons, special tags are added around marked characters, and they become subscripts or superscripts.

These tags can be also added manually, and

[noparse]SO42-[/noparse]

will be displayed as

SO42-

(note: there are always two tags, opening and a closing one, opening has [tag] form, while closing has a [/tag] form; [noparse][/noparse] is for subscripts, [noparse][/noparse] is for superscripts)
 
ok i will try to use in what you showed me borek.

and from where i got OH2- i got is from Ca(OH)2. i speak about 100% Response between the acid and the base.

is it Possible that someone can show me the answer?
thanks.

Rethink --- what kind of compound is Ca(OH)2? It is not an acid. How is this compound present dissolved in water? What is the reaction for this?
 
is a Inorganic compound, i know is not acid is a strong base.

i just mistake in OH2-? in the Equation?

thanks.
 
Write dissociation reactions for:

KOH
Ca(OH)2
Al(OH)3

(Note: OH2- doesn't mean anything, I told you how to format formulas correctly, please do it).
