The characteristic properties of acids and bases — practice question

Aqueous calcium hydroxide is an alkali. It is neutralised by dilute nitric acid, forming calcium nitrate and water. State the ionic equation for this reaction?

  • A$\text{Ca}^+ + \text{OH}^- + \text{H}^+ + \text{NO}_3^- \rightarrow \text{CaNO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
  • B$\text{Ca(OH)}_2 + 2\text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Ca(NO}_3)_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
  • C$\text{Ca}^{2+}(\text{OH}^-)_{2} + 2\text{H}^+\text{NO}_3^- \rightarrow \text{Ca}^{2+}(\text{NO}_3^-)_{2} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
  • D$\text{OH}^- + \text{H}^+ \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O}$
