What is the net ionic equation for the reaction between potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?

1 Answer

Jan 3, 2017

$H O^{-} + H_{3} O^{+} \to 2 H_{2} O (l)$ $HO^(-) + H_3O^(+) rarr 2H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

This is simplicity itself: hydronium ion reacts with hydroxide ion to give water.

Of course the complete equation is:

$H C l (a q) + K O H (a q) \to H_{2} O (l) + K C l (a q)$ $HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) rarr H_2O(l) + KCl(aq)$
