I'm trying to write an equation for the reaction of zinc nitrate with aqueous ammonia. I know that zinc hyroxide is produced first but I don't really know how to write an equation for this. This is what I came up with:

Question

Zn(NO3)2 + 2OH- --> Zn(OH)2 + 2NO3-

I'm not really sure whether to include the ammonia in the equation or what will happen to the NO3-. Should I put water instead of OH-?

Answer 1

Zn(NO3)2+NH4OH (aq) >>Zn(OH)2(s) + NH3NO3 (aq)

you can balance it.
