Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s) If a box is not needed leave it blank. When aqueous solutions of sodium fluoride and nitric acid are mixed, an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate and hydrofluoric acid results. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction (Use the solubility rules provided in the OWL Preparation Page to determine the solubility of compounds.) Use H' for the hydronium ion.

Explanation / Answer

the balanced reaction is given by

HNO3 (aq) + NaF (aq) --> HF (aq) + NaNO3 (aq)

now

the complete ionic equation is given by

H+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) + Na+ (aq) + F- (aq) --> HF (aq) + Na+ (aq) + NO3- (aq)

now

cross out the spectator ions , that is , the ions common on both sides

the resultant net ionic equation is given by

H+ (aq) + F- (aq) --> HF (aq)
