The net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous solutions of HF and KOH is ________. A)HF + KOH → H₂O + K⁺ + F^- B)HF + OH^-^→H₂O + F^- C)HF + K⁺ + OH^- → H₂O + KF D)H⁺ + OH^- → H₂O E)H⁺ + F^- + K⁺ + OH^-→ H₂O + K⁺ + F^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net ionic equation involves only the species that actually change during the reaction. HF is a weak acid and dissociates partially, while KOH is a strong base and dissociates completely. The net ionic equation shows HF reacting with OH⁻ to form water and F⁻.
