I add aqueous AgNO3 to NaOH and a precipitate forms. Then I add nitric acid HNO3 and the precipitate dissolves. How would I write the equation for my reactions. Would this be correct?
AgNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> AgOH (s) + Na+(aq)
And then...
AgOH (s) + Na (aq) + HNO3 (aq) --> AgNO3 (aq) + H2O (l) or would it instead yield Ag(NH3)2 (aq)??

AgNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> AgOH (s) + NaNO3
2AgOH --> Ag2O(s) + H2O
And then...
Ag2O + 2HNO3 --> 2AgNO3 + H2O

no your equations are wrong....you need to have both the products and reactants on either side....the first one is...
AgNO2(aq) + NaOH(aq) ---> AgOH(s) + NaNO2(aq)
for the second equation only the precipitate and the nitric acid are involved so it would be...
AgOH(s) + HNO3(aq) ---> AgNO3(aq) + H20(liq)
