Question

What are the reactants in the following reaction?

$KOH\left(aq\right)+HN{O}_3\to H_{2}O\left(l\right)+KN{O}_3\left(aq\right)$

• A. H₂O, KNO₃
• B. HNO_3, H₂O
• C. KOH, HNO₃
• D. KNO_3, KOH

Answer 1

The correct option is C

KOH, HNO₃

The reactants of the reaction are KOH and $HN{O}_3$ because they react chemically to produce the products, $H_{2}O$ and $KN{O}_3$.

$KOH\left(aq\right)+HN{O}_3\to H_{2}O\left(l\right)+KN{O}_3\left(aq\right)$
