Question #74516

Write a balanced chemical equation with state symbols to illustrate how NaNO3,can be prepared in the laboratory.Explain why NaNO3,cannot be prepared utilizing the same method used for the preparation of CaCO3.

Expert's answer

Neutralization of nitric acid with sodium hydroxide makes it possible to obtain sodium nitrate in the laboratory in its pure form.

HNO3 + NaOH → NaNO3 + H2O

NaNO3 cannot be prepared utilizing the same method used for the preparation of CaCO3, because calcium carbonate is not soluble in water, and sodium nitrate is soluble in water.
