Consider the reaction when aqueous solutions of potassium nitrate and sodium hydroxide are combined.
The net ionic equation for this reaction is:
Solution
complete reaction : KNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) -------------------> NaNO3 (aq) + KOH (aq)
net ionic equation :
K+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) + Na+ (aq) + OH-(aq)--------------> Na+(aq)+ NO3-(aq) + K+(aq)+ OH-(aq)
it is double displacement reaction . so total ionic is equal to net ionic reaction just ions are exchanged
