    Neutralization Equation
    I need to Write the Response Neutralization Equation between Acid solution HNO3 and the solution Ca(OH)2 Calcium hydroxide (base).

    in the picture you can see my answer and tell me if I correct.

    thanks.

    In the equqtion shown, OH2- is incorrect, the other ions are correct. The chemcal equation is NOT properly balanced. Try again and post your new answer

    well why is not correct?

    when we mix acid and base so there Response between H3O to OH-
    can you Write me the correct Equation Because I have no idea how to keep from here.

    thanks.

    I think it is easier to write the ions from each reagent in order [Ca(OH)2 --> Ca+2 + 2OH-]
    I think it is easier to write the acid as H+, instead of H3O+.
    I think it is easier to write water as H-OH in neutralization reactions because you know where each part comer from. SO:
    Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 --> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H-OH; or as the ionic equation: Ca+2 + 2OH- + 2H+ + 2NO3- --> Ca+2 + 2NO3- + 2H2O

    Well, strictly speaking, the ionic equation of any acid base reaction becomes:



    as the common ions on the left and the right side of the equation cancel out. :)
