Calcium hydroxide + Nitric acid - water + calcium nitrate
Please tell me answer fast....... ​

Answer 1

To write:

Word equation and explain balancing it.

Calcium hydroxide + Nitric acid - water + calcium nitrate

Solution:

Unbalanced Equation:

$\boxed{ \bf Ca(OH)_{2} + HNO_{3} \rightarrow \: H_{2}O + Ca(NO_{3})_{2}}$

So, if we balance the equation, we can see:

$\boxed{ \bf Ca(OH)_{2} + 2HNO_{3} \rightarrow \: 2H_{2}O + Ca(NO_{3})_{2}}$

On Reactant Side:

• Ca - 1 atom
• O - 8 atoms
• H - 4 atoms

On Product Side:

• Ca - 1 atom
• O - 8 atoms
• H - 4 atoms

The basic trick to apply during balancing the equation:

• First try to balance the nitrate radicle on both sides.

• And then balance the other atoms.
