Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net ionic equation for the reaction between H^+ (from an acid) and OH^- (from a base like KOH) in aqueous solution is H^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq) → H2O (l), which simplifies to the formation of water, indicating a neutralization reaction. Choices involving other ions or no reaction are incorrect in this context.
