Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net ionic equation for the reaction between HF and KOH in aqueous solution shows the hydrogen ion from HF reacting with the hydroxide ion from KOH to form water, H2O, and the fluoride ion, F-. This simplifies the reaction to its essential ionic components, excluding the spectator ions (K+ in this case).
