Answer to Question #348514 in General Chemistry for Nonhlanhla

Question

Consider an acid-base reaction when Nitric acid is added to copper (11) hydroxide. What is the net ironic equation for this reaction

Answer 1

[1] H⁺(aq) + OH^-(aq) → H₂O(l)

[2] 2H⁺ (aq) + Cu(OH)₂(s) → Cu²⁺(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

[3] 2HNO₃(aq) +Cu(OH)₂(s) → Cu(NO₃)₂(s) + 2H₂O(l)

[4] 2H⁺(aq) + 2NO₃ ^- (aq) + Cu²⁺(aq) + 2OH^- (aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(s) + 2H₂O(l)

[5] 2H⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃ ^- (aq) + Cu²⁺(aq) + 2OH^- (aq) → Cu²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃ ^- (aq) + 2H₂O(l)
