Write the molecular equation for the reaction that occurs, if any, when solutions of the following substances are mixed: nitric acid and potassium carbonate. Make sure that you have properly identified all of the phases in your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The balanced molecular equation for the reaction is:

[tex]2HNO_{3_{(aq)} }[/tex] + [tex]K_{2} CO_{3} _{(s)}[/tex] → [tex]2KNO_{3} _{(s)}[/tex] + [tex]H_{2} O_{(l)[/tex] + [tex]CO_{2} _{(g)}[/tex]↑

Explanation:

The weak nitric acid reacts with the strong potassium base to produce salt, water and carbon dioxide which is given off.

Molecular ratio of reactants is 2 : 1.

All phases are represented in the equation: aq for aqueous, l for liquid and g for gas (notice how they are written in subscript).

I hope this was helpful.
