Answer:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ——-> KCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is the chemical reaction between an acid and an alkali to yield salt and water only.

In this particular question, the acid is hydrochloric acid while the alkali is potassium solution. We now write the equation of reaction as follows:

KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ——-> KCl(aq) + H2O(l)

The salt formed here is KCl otherwise called potassium chloride
