when hydrochloric acid is added to a potassium hydroxide solution, the acid and base would react to form salt(potassium chloride) and water

Chemical Formula:

HCl(aq) +KOH(aq) ---> KCl (aq) + H20 (l)

Answer:
HCl(aq)+KOH(aq)\rightarrow KCl(aq)+H_2O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base reacts to form salt and water.


HX+BOH\rightarrow BX}H_2O

Neutralization is a double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The chemical equation for reaction of hydrochloric acid solution with a potassium hydroxide solution is:


HCl(aq)+KOH(aq)\rightarrow KCl(aq)+H_2O(l)
