Chapter 9, Problem 24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The net ionic equation for single replacement redox reaction between $\text{Zn}\left(\text{s}\right)$ and ${\text{HNO}}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{aq}\right)$ is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

An ion-combination reaction is a reaction in which cation from one reactant combines with the anion from another reactant and form a particular kind of product. The product formed is an insoluble ionic compound which settles down at the bottom of the solution.

Single replacement reaction is a reaction in which one metal replaces other metal. This process is also known as transmetallation reaction.
