SUMMARY

The net ionic equation for the reaction between sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and water (H2O) is Na+ + NO3- + H2O. The initial attempt incorrectly included hydroxide ions (OH-) which are not produced in this reaction. Water remains unchanged and is present on both sides of the equation, indicating it does not participate in the net ionic equation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ionic compounds and their dissociation in water
  • Knowledge of net ionic equations
  • Familiarity with the properties of sodium nitrate (NaNO3)
  • Basic chemistry concepts related to aqueous solutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the process of writing net ionic equations for various reactions
  • Learn about the solubility rules for ionic compounds in water
  • Explore the properties and uses of sodium nitrate (NaNO3) in chemical reactions
  • Investigate the role of water as a solvent in chemical reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding ionic reactions and net ionic equations.
