Question

Write two equations for the neutralization of nitric acid, HNO, with magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH). In the first equation, include the spectator ions. In the second, do not include the spectator ions.​

Answer 1

where the formula

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer should include the total ionic equation (for the equation with spectator ions) and net ionic equation (for equation that does not include spectator ion).

ignore the top equation labelled molecular equation

Disclaimer: the solid MgOH2 works only for Mg(OH)2 in solid phase.

If we assume the Mg(OH)2 is aqueous, then I have attached a second picture (replace Ca with Mg), the boxed equations are your answers.
