Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is formed when Potassium forms ionic bonds with OH-ions while Potassium Oxide (K2O) is formed when potassium forms ionic bonds with the Oxide (O2-) ions. i.e. This reaction is a neutralization reaction and occurs when an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (KOH).

Answer: potassium chloride

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction is one which involves exchange of ions. Neutralization is a type of double displacement reaction in which an acid combines with a base to form salt and water, the reaction is called as neutralization reaction.

$KOH+HCl\rightarrow KCl+H_2O$

Thus the salt formed is potassium chloride which has the chemical formula
KCl .
