Write balanced molecular equation for the reaction between nitric acid and calcium hydroxide. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. nothing

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

This a neutralisation reaction. The first thing to note is that this type of reaction forms salt and water.

Note that the formula of water is H2O. So write this at the right hand side.

                                    ==> H2O

Next note that the salt should contain the acid radical (NO3) and the metallic part of the base (Ca) written well following the rule for writing chemical equation; thus

                            ==> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The next step is to write the reactants at the right hand side of the equation;

HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ==> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The final step is to count the number of atoms in each side of the equation to make sure they are equal and balanced.

In the above equation, H atoms are three at the left hand side add 2 to to H- containig compound on both side as to balance up. Thus

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The equation 2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 ===> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O is balance.

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
