Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is formed when Potassium forms ionic bonds with OH-ions while Potassium Oxide (K2O) is formed when potassium forms ionic bonds with the Oxide (O2-) ions. i.e. This reaction is a neutralization reaction and occurs when an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (KOH).

Answer: potassium chloride

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction is one which involves exchange of ions. Neutralization is a type of double displacement reaction in which an acid combines with a base to form salt and water, the reaction is called as neutralization reaction.

$KOH+HCl\rightarrow KCl+H_2O$

Thus the salt formed is potassium chloride which has the chemical formula $KCl$ .

What is the relationship between concentration and rate of reaction?

grigory [225]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Directly proportional

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Concentration is one of the factors that determine the rate of a reaction. Reaction rates increases with increase in the concentration of the reactants, which means they are directly proportional.</u></em>
An increase in the concentration of reactants produces more collisions and thus increasing the rate at which the reaction is taking place. Therefore, <u>Increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions between reactants and will cause an increase in the rate of reaction.</u>
