Question

Predict the products of the reaction below. That is, complete the right-hand side of the chemical equation. Be sure your equation is balanced.

HCLO44 + KOH -->

Answer 1

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

A balanced chemical equation always follows this law.

For the given chemical reaction, the balanced equation follows:

`HClO_4+KOH\rightarrow KClO_4+H_2O`

This is considered as neutralization reaction because an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
