Question

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and potassium hydroxide (KOH)?

Answer 1

\[HCl _{aq} + KOH _{aq}\rightarrow KCl _{aq} + H _{2}O _{l}\]
\[H ^{+} + Cl ^{-} + K ^{+} + OH ^{-} \rightarrow K ^{+} + Cl ^{-} + H _{2}O \]
cancelled out ion the spectator ions \[K ^{+} and Cl ^{-}\]
net ionic equation \[H ^{+} + OH ^{-}\rightarrow H _{2}O\]

Answer 2

Thanks :)
