Question

Complete the following word equation and write balanced molecular equations for the same : $\mathrm{Zinc}\mathrm{nitrate}+\mathrm{Potassium}\mathrm{hydroxide}\to$

Answer 1

Word Equation :

• $\mathrm{Zinc}\mathrm{nitrate}+\mathrm{Potassium}\mathrm{hydroxide}\to \mathrm{Potassium}\mathrm{nitrate}+\mathrm{Zinc}\mathrm{hydroxide}$.

Molecular Equation :

• $\mathrm{Zn}{\left[{\mathrm{NO}}_3\right]}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+2\mathrm{KOH}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\to 2{\mathrm{KNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+\mathrm{Zn}{\left[\mathrm{OH}\right]}_2\downarrow \left[\mathrm{white}\mathrm{gelatin}\mathrm{ppt}.\right]$
