Question

a) What happens when potassium hydroxide and dilute hydrochloric acid react? what are such reactions called​

Answer 1

Answer:

Potassium hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid → Potassium chloride + Water.

this is the reaction

and this is a neutralization reaction.

Answer 2

Production of salt and water takes place when potassium hydroxide and dilute hydrochloric acid react. Such reactions are called a neutralization reactions.

• Acids and bases react to form salt and water. The chemical reaction between potassium hydroxide and dilute hydrochloric acid is as follows - KOH + HCl --> KCl + H2O.
• KCl is the salt potassium chloride and H2O is water on the products side. On the reactants side, KOH is potassium hydroxide and HCl is hydrochloric acid.
• Neutralization reaction involves the exchange of ionic particles and hence is double displacement reaction as well.
