What happens when a solution of nitric acid is added to a solution of potassium hydroxide?

Whenever an acid reacts with an alkali, a salt and water are formed.This is a neutralization reactioni.e. acid + alkali --> salt +waterIn this case, nitric acid + potassium hydroxide --> potassium nitrate + waterHNO3(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KNO3(aq) + H2O(l)Hence, a solution of potassium nitrate is formed.
