Solution: Consider the following acid-neutralization reactions involving the strong base NaOH(aq):HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)NH4+(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NH3(aq) + Na

Consider the following acid-neutralization reactions involving the strong base NaOH(aq):

HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
NH₄⁺(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NH₃(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)

As we saw in Section 4.3, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid are strong acids. Write net ionic equations for the neutralization of the nitric acid.
