  • Neutralization of Nitric Acid and Calcium Hydroxide: Products & Reaction
    The products of the neutralization reaction between HNO₃ (nitric acid) and Ca(OH)₂ (calcium hydroxide) are:

    * Ca(NO₃)₂ (calcium nitrate): This is the salt formed by the reaction.

    * H₂O (water): This is produced as a result of the combination of hydrogen ions from the acid and hydroxide ions from the base.

    Here's the balanced chemical equation:

    2 HNO₃ (aq) + Ca(OH)₂ (aq) → Ca(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2 H₂O (l)
