If nitric acid (HNO3) and potassium<\/a> hydroxide (KOH) are mixed in a reaction, they interact with each other, resulting in a neutralization process. Acid and the base form salt and water in this kind of reaction.<\/p>\n When it comes to nitric acids and potassium hydroxide, hydrogen ions (H+) from the Acid react with hydrogen ions of the hydroxide (OHand OH) in the base as per the chemical formula:<\/p>\n HNO3 + KOH – KNO3 + H2O<\/p>\n The equation is balanced and illustrates that one molecule of Nitric acid (HNO3) interacts with one potassium hydroxide molecule (KOH) to form one potassium nitrate molecule (KNO3) along with one water molecule (H2O).<\/p>\n The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a substantial volume of heat. This is because the process requires the exchange of energy bases and acid molecules into the created water molecules. The heat released could be enough to cause the mixture to boil and then splatter, which could be hazardous.<\/p>\n It is, therefore, essential to handle nitric acids and potassium hydroxide with care and mix slowly with care to avoid overheating or spills. In addition, protective gear, like gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat, must be used when working with these chemical substances.<\/p>\n When the reaction is completed, the product that results are potassium nitrate<\/a>. It is a white crystalline salt often used in fertilizers, fireworks, and other uses.<\/p>\n
