[weigel]

Homework Statement

NaNO3 + H2O

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

NaNO3 + H2O -> Na+OH-+NO3-+H2O

 

[Borek]

Where did you get OH^- from?

H₂O is present on both sides of the equation.

This is the overall equation for the reaction between sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and water (H2O). However, in order to write a net ionic equation, we need to identify the spectator ions, which are ions that do not participate in the reaction and remain in their original form. In this case, the spectator ions are Na+ and NO3-. Therefore, the net ionic equation for this reaction is H2O -> H+ + OH-. This shows that the water molecule dissociates into its constituent ions, H+ and OH-, which is a characteristic of an acid-base reaction.
