For any reaction between a strong base (potassium hydroxide) and a strong acid (nitric acid) the end result is the neutralization of the acid and base to produce water. The net ionic reaction will always be the same and show the reaction of the acid (H+) with the base (OH-) to form water. Therefore,
H+ + OH- ---> H2O

No. Your equation does not have the coefficients in their lowest whole number values. H+ + OH- --> HOH (or H2O) is the net ionic equation for the neutralization of the acid and base. ======== Follow up ======== A "college level" student should know that **ions have charges**. H3O is H3O+ and hydroxide ion is OH-.

H+ + OH- ===> H2O
