What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of ZnCl2
with NaOH
?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ZnCl2 and NaOH is as follows:
ZnCl2 + 2NaOH -> Zn(OH)2 + 2NaCl
The net ionic equation for this reaction is:
Zn2+ + 2OH- -> Zn(OH)2
In this equation, the spectator ions Na+ and Cl- are not included as they do not participate in the reaction.
