Write a balance equation for the reaction of nitric acid (HNO3) with each base solution : [1]. NaHCO3, [2]. MgCO3. ( Please include the phases of the substance)
HNO3(aq) + NaHCO3(s) ==> H2O(l) + CO2(g) + NaNO3(aq)
2HNO3 + MgCO3 ==> Mg(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2
I've left the phases for you on #2.
1. The balanced equation for the reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is:
HNO3(aq) + NaHCO3(s) → NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
2. The balanced equation for the reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) is:
2HNO3(aq) + MgCO3(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Note: (aq) represents an aqueous solution, (s) represents a solid substance, (l) represents a liquid, and (g) represents a gas.
To write a balanced equation for the reaction of nitric acid (HNO3) with each base solution, we need to identify the reactants and products involved.
1. Reaction with NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate or baking soda):
Reactants:
HNO3 (aq) + NaHCO3 (s)
Products:
NaNO3 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
The balanced equation for this reaction is:
2 HNO3 (aq) + NaHCO3 (s) → NaNO3 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
2. Reaction with MgCO3 (magnesium carbonate):
Reactants:
HNO3 (aq) + MgCO3 (s)
Products:
Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
The balanced equation for this reaction is:
2 HNO3 (aq) + MgCO3 (s) → Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
In both cases, the phases of the substances are mentioned. (aq) denotes aqueous solution, (s) denotes solid, (l) denotes liquid, and (g) denotes gas.
