Question

question 6 of 19 consider this aqueous reaction. hno₃(aq) + ba(oh)₂(aq) → what is the formula for the salt that forms? formula:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the acid - base reaction

The reaction is between nitric acid ($HNO_3$) and barium hydroxide ($Ba(OH)_2$). An acid - base neutralization reaction occurs.

Step2: Determine the ions involved

$HNO_3$ dissociates into $H^+$ and $NO_3^-$ ions, and $Ba(OH)_2$ dissociates into $Ba^{2 + }$ and $OH^-$ ions.

Step3: Combine the non - H+ and non - OH- ions

The non - $H^+$ ion from the acid is $NO_3^-$ and the non - $OH^-$ ion from the base is $Ba^{2+}$. To balance the charges, two $NO_3^-$ ions are needed for one $Ba^{2+}$ ion.

Answer:

$Ba(NO_3)_2$
