Be sure to answer all parts. Write a balanced equation for each reaction. a. HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) ? HBr (aq) +KOH (aq) KBR (aq) +H2O (l) Feedback Examine your products. In a neutralization reaction, water and an ionic salt are formed. Is your ionic compound charge balanced? Did you balance the equation and include the states of each substance? Ok, got it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reaction between hydrobromic acid (HBr) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a neutralization reaction. In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form water and an ionic salt. The reaction between HBr and KOH is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Write the reactants.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
HBr<\/strong> is a strong acid, and in aqueous form, it dissociates completely into H+H^+H+ and Br\u2212Br^-Br\u2212 ions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
KOH<\/strong> is a strong base, and in aqueous form, it dissociates completely into K+K^+K+ and OH\u2212OH^-OH\u2212 ions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Predict the products.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When these ions combine in the neutralization reaction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
H+H^+H+ from HBr reacts with OH\u2212OH^-OH\u2212 from KOH to form water<\/strong> H2OH_2OH2\u200bO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The remaining ions K+K^+K+ and Br\u2212Br^-Br\u2212 combine to form the ionic salt potassium bromide<\/strong> (KBr), which is soluble in water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Write the equation for the reaction.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
On the left side of the equation, the ions are H+H^+H+, Br\u2212Br^-Br\u2212, K+K^+K+, and OH\u2212OH^-OH\u2212, which are all neutralized by the right side of the equation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
On the right, potassium bromide (KBr) dissociates into K+K^+K+ and Br\u2212Br^-Br\u2212, and water (H\u2082O) is neutral, balancing the charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: States of matter.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
HBr and KOH are both aqueous (aqaqaq), meaning they are dissolved in water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
KBr is also aqueous (aqaqaq) because it is soluble in water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Water is a liquid (lll) at room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This equation is now balanced in terms of both mass and charge, and the states of matter are correctly indicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
