Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
HNO3 + NaOH → NaNO3 + H2O
Equation is already balanced.
The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.
Chemical Reaction Information
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): HNO3 is an acid, NaOH is a base.
Nitric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Nitrate + Water
Reaction Type
Double Displacement (Metathesis)
Substances that react are called starting materials or reactants. The substances that form as a result are called reaction products.
