2. what is the net ionic equation for the neutralization of HF with KOH
Solution
Solution:- (1) HBr is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Both are like completely
dissociated and also KBr is water soluble. The molecular equation is...
HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) -----> KBr(aq) + H 2 O(l)
Ionic equation is.....
H +
(aq) + Br -
(aq) + K +
(aq) + OH -
(aq) ----> K +
(aq) + Br -
(aq) + H 2 O(l)
Here, K +
and Br -
are the common ions so they are canceled out while write the net ionic
equation.
The net ionic equation is...
H + (aq) + OH - (aq) -----> H 2 O(l)
(2) HF is a weak acid and so it is not completely dissociated. For the ionic equations we don't
show the dissociation of weak acid or base.
HF(aq) + KOH(aq) -----> KF(aq) + H 2 O(l)
Ionic equation is...
HF(aq) + K +
(aq) + OH -
(aq) ----> K +
(aq) + F -
(aq) + H 2 O(l)
K +
is the common ion.
The net ionic equation would be...
HF(aq) + OH - (aq) ----> F - (aq) + H 2 O(l)
