Use Lowry-Brönstes theory to write the balanced equation for the following reaction: HNO3(aq) +OH(aq)><_+_

1 answer

The Lowry-Brönsted theory states that an acid donates a proton (H+) and a base accepts a proton. In the given reaction, HNO3 acts as the acid since it donates a proton, and OH acts as the base since it accepts a proton.

The balanced equation for the reaction is:

HNO3(aq) + OH(aq) -> H2O(l) + NO3-(aq)
