Predict which neutral salt will form from the following reaction: Zn(OH)2 + 2 HNO3 → 2 H2O +

The salt formed is Zn(NO₃)₂.

Explanation:

From the reaction between Zn(OH)₂ and HNO₃ we will have the following products:

Zn(OH)₂ + HNO₃ → H₂O + Zn(NO₃)₂          

In an acid-base reaction, we will have water by the neutralization between the acid (HNO₃) and the base (Zn(OH)₂), and the salt between the ions of the atoms of the acid and the base (Zn²⁺ and NO₃⁻) as final products.  

Now, we need to equal the number of Zn, O, N, and H atoms in both sides of the reaction:

Zn(OH)₂ + 2HNO₃ → 2H₂O + Zn(NO₃)₂                              

Then, the number of atoms of the reactants is now equal to the number of atoms in the products.

Therefore, the salt formed is Zn(NO₃)₂.

it should be p1 v1 = p2 v2

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.

the answer is c
