Hey everyone, we're told for the following reaction, what is the balance? Net ionic equation? Note? Nitric acid is a strong acid. Here we have nitric acid and potassium hydroxide. So we have a double displacement reaction. And so we produce potassium nitrate plus our water. We need to check if this is completely balanced already and looking at it thus far it is balanced. So let's go ahead and write our complete ionic equation. So from our nitric acid we get our hydrogen ions plus our nitrate ions. Next for potassium hydroxide, we get our potassium ions plus our hydroxide ions. Moving on to our product side, we get our potassium ions plus our nitrate ions from our potassium nitrate. Next looking at our water since water is a liquid, we leave this as is so this is our complete ionic equation. Now let's go ahead and write out our net ionic equation for our net ionic equation, we have to remove our spectator ions. Looking at a complete ionic equation, let's go ahead and cross those out. Source spectator ions are going to be our nitrate ion in our react inside our potassium ion, in our react inside and also our potassium and nitrate ion in our product side. So riding out our net ionic equation, this is going to be our hydrogen ion plus our hydroxide ion which we then get water which is a liquid and this is going to be our final answer. Now I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
