Which is the net ionic equation for the neutralization of HCl(aq) by KOH(aq)?
A.H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
B.HCl + KOH → KCl + H₂O
C.H⁺ + Cl⁻ → HCl
D.K⁺ + OH⁻ → KOH
Explanation
Core Concept
K⁺ and Cl⁻ are spectators. Every strong-acid/strong-base neutralization collapses to the same net reaction: hydronium and hydroxide combining into water.
Correct Answer
AH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
