Solution

The correct option is A 2HNO3+Zn(OH)2Zn(NO3)2+2H2O
HNO3H++NO3

As HNO3 gives H+ in water, it is an acid (Arrhenius Theory)

Zn(OH)2Zn++2OH

As Zn(OH)2 gives OH in water, it is a base (Arrhenius Theory)

Hence it is a neutralization reaction.

Neutralization equation:

Acid+Base Salt+water

so, the net equation will be:

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

Hence, the option (A) is correct.
