Problem 79P
When a hydrochloric acid solution is combined with a potassium hydroxide solution, an acid–base reaction occurs. Write a balanced molecular equation and a net ionic equation for this reaction.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1 of 3
Solution 79P
The molecular equation for the reaction of HCl and KOH is as given below
HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)------->NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)
Splitting the aqueous solution into ions we get,
H++Cl-+Na++OH- ------------>Na++Cl-+H2O
Cancelling the common ions(Na+and Cl-) the net ionic equation becomes
H+ + OH--------->H2O
