Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced reaction between aqueous potassium hydroxide and aqueous acetic acid is:

KOH(aq) + HC2H3O2(aq) → H2O(l) + KC2H3O2(aq)

Option B is the only choice that has the correct chemical formula for acetic acid (HC2H3O2) and the correct chemical formula for potassium acetate (KC2H3O2) in the products. The other options have incorrect chemical formulas for one or both of these compounds.
