The above equation represents an ion exchange reaction between zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2), resulting in the formation of barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) and zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2).
- Reaction Conditions
The reaction takes place under room conditions, without specific pressure, temperature, or environment requirements. However, to ensure a complete reaction, it is necessary to ensure that both reactants are completely dissolved in water.
- Reaction Process
When Zn(NO3)2 and Ba(OH)2 come into contact with each other in solution, the Zn2+ and NO3- ions from Zn(NO3)2 exchange positions with the Ba2+ and OH- ions from Ba(OH)2. The result is the creation of two new products, Ba(NO3)2 and Zn(OH)2.
- Observed Phenomena
In the case where both reactants are completely dissolved in water, no noticeable physical phenomenon occurs. However, if one or both of the reactants are not completely dissolved, a precipitate can be observed. If Zn(NO3)2 is not dissolved, a white precipitate of Zn(OH)2 will be formed. If Ba(OH)2 is not dissolved, a white precipitate of Ba(NO3)2 will be formed.
