Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when excess nitric acid (aq) and sodium sulfite (aq) are combined. Note: Sulfites follow the same solubility trends as sulfates.

Explanation:

Reactants  -

Nitric Acid

Sodium Sulfate

Products  -

Sulfuric Acid

Sodium Nitrate

The reaction is as follows -

Nitric Acid + Sodium Sulfate ⇒ Sodium Nitrate + Sulfuric Acid

⇒

To balance the above equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of nitric acid on the right-hand- side and a coefficient of 2 in front of sodium nitrate on the left-hand-side.

∴ The balanced equation is as follows -

⇒

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
