Hydrochloric Acid and Potassium Hydroxide Balanced Equation

Answer:

HCl + KOH -->KCl+H₂O is the balanced equation for Hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide .


Explanation:

Today we are going to Balance hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide (HCl+KOH) reaction in just six steps.



Here is the reaction between HCl and KOH.
                     
HCl + KOH →KCl+H₂O
                  




                     Step-1:

Write the equation like this and count atoms from both sides.




HCl + KOH →KCl+H₂O


Reatants                 Products                      

H  → 1+1=2                 H  → 2


Cl →1                            Cl→1


O  → 1                        O→ 1

K→ 1                              K→1

                     Step-2:

Balance Hydrogen first.The number of hydrogen is already balanced.



HCl + KOH →KCl+H₂O

Reatants                 Products                      

H→ 1+1=2                  H  → 2


Cl →1                        Cl→1


O  → 1                    O→ 1


K→ 1                          K→1


                     Step-3:

Now balance chlorine.The number of chlorine is already balanced.




HCl + KOH →KCl+H₂O

Reatants                 Products                      

H→ 1+1=2                  H  → 2


Cl →1                        Cl→1


O  → 1                    O→ 1


K→ 1                          K→1






                      Step-4:

Now balance oxygen atoms.The number of oxygen is already balanced.




HCl + KOH →KCl+H₂O

Reatants                 Products                      

H→ 1+1=2                  H  → 2


Cl →1                        Cl→1


O  → 1                    O→ 1



K→ 1                          K→1

                Step-5:
Now balance the number of potassium atoms.The number of potassium atom is already balanced.

HCl + KOH →KCl+H₂O

Reatants                 Products                      

H→ 1+1=2                  H  → 2


Cl →1                        Cl→1


O  → 1                    O→ 1


K→ 1                          K→1





                  Step-6:

Now put arrow sign.

HCl + KOH -->KCl+H₂O


The above  equation is balanced equation for hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide (HCl+KOH).

Notice that each side of the equation have 2H,1K,1O,1Cl.
