Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 43E
Although there are many ions in seawater, the overall charges of the dissolved cations and anions must maintain charge neutrality. Consider only the six most abundant ions in seawater, as listed in Table 18.5 (CI-, Na+, SO42-, Ca2+, and K+), calculate the total charge in Coulombs of the cations in 1.0 L of seawater. Calculate the total charge in Coulombs of the anions in 1.0 L of seawater. To how many significant figures are the two numbers equal?

Tooth enamel consists of hydroxyapatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH (Ksp = 8 × 10−37). Fluoride ion added to toothpaste and also drinking water reacts with Ca5(PO4)3OH to form the more tooth decay–resistant fluorapatite, Ca5(PO4)3F (Ksp = 1.0 × 10−60). Fluoridated water has dramatically decreased cavities among children. Calculate the solubility of Ca5(PO4)3OH and of Ca 5(PO4)3F in water.

Looking up one snowy afternoon from a book titled The Moral Case Against Turning Lead Into Gold (Or Vice Versa), your friend Lena (an expert chemist) says this:
"Ammonium salts heated with aqueous hydroxides form ammonia, water, and a salt."
Using Lena's statement, and what you already know about chemistry, predict the products of the following reaction.
Be sure your chemical equation is balanced!
NH4NO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) ->
