Homework Statement
NaNO3 + H2O
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
NaNO3 + H2O -> Na+OH-+NO3-+H2O
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.
PREREQUISITESChemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding ionic reactions and net ionic equations.
