Question

Write the balanced complete ionic equation for the reaction hcho2(aq)+koh(aq)→

Answer 1

Answer: Molecular: HC2H3O2(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) Complete ionic: HC2H3O2(aq) + K+(aq) + OH-(aq) --> K+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq) + H2O(l) Net Ionic: HC2H3O2(aq) + OH-(aq) --> C2H3O2-(aq) + H2O(l)

Answer 2

 The balanced complete ionic equation for the reaction

HCHO2(aq) + KOH (aq)  is

2H +(aq)  +OH- (aq)  →  H2O(l)

  Explanation

Step 1: write  a balanced molecular equation

HCHO2(aq)  +KOH (aq) →  KCHO2(aq)  +H2O (l)

Step 2: break all  soluble  electrolyte  into ions

that  is  H+(aq)  + CHO2-(aq) + K+ (aq)  + OH-(aq)→  K +(aq) +CHO2-  + H2O(l)

Step 3 :  cancel the spectator ions  in both side

    that is  CHO2-   and K+

Step 4:  write the net  ionic equation

2H+ (aq)  + OH- (aq)→  H2O (l)
