$$HNO_{3 (aq)}+KOH_{(aq)}\rightarrow H_{2}O+KNO_{3(aq)}$$

fanduekisses · Answer

I don't even know where to start.

kkutie7 · Answer

alright so the basics of acid/base chemistry is a transfer of a proton (H+)

kkutie7 · Answer

in your equation the acid is the reactant that gives up a proton and the basic accepts it.
