Potassium oxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and oxygen has a charge of <span>O<span>2−</span></span>. We need 2 potassium ions to balance one oxide ion making the formula <span><span>K2</span>O</span>.

Potassium hydroxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and hydroxide has a charge of <span>OH−</span>. We need 1 potassium ion to balance one hydroxide ion making the formula KOH.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span> H2</span>O→KOH</span>

To balance the equation we place a coefficient of 2 in front of the potassium hydroxide.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span>H2</span>O→2KOH</span>

I hope this was helpful.

The rate of chemical reactions generally ____ as temperature is raised
Zepler [3.9K]

The rate of chemical reactions generally happen <em>faster</em> when the temperature is raised.

This happens because the reactant's molecules move faster when the temperature is raised. The molecules start to bounce around more, increasing the chance for the reaction to happen, or to increase the speed at which the reaction occurs. Hope this helped.

Which two substances are covalent compounds? * C6H12O6(s) and KI(s) C6H12O6(s) and HCl(g) KI(s) and NaCl(s) NaCl(s) and HCl(g)
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which sharing of electrons take place between the combining atoms. Generally, when two or more non-metals chemically combine together the it will lead to the formation of a covalent compound.

For example, C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} and HCl is also a covalent compound.

And, a compound in which transfer of electrons occur between the combining atoms is known as an ionic compound. Whenever, a metal chemically combines with a non-metal then it will always lead to the formation of an ionic compound.

For example, KI is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} and HCl are the two substances which are covalent compounds.
