Answer to Question #317813 in General Chemistry for Tay

Question

Write the balanced NET IONIC equation for the reaction that occurs when hydrochloric acid and potassium hypochlorite are combined.

Use H₃O⁺ instead of H⁺.

This reaction is classified as:

A. Strong Acid + Strong Base

B. Weak Acid + Strong Base

C. Strong Acid + Weak Base

D. Weak Acid + Weak Base

The extent of this reaction is:

.

A. ... Below 50%

B. ... 50%

C. ... Above 50%

D. ... 100%

Answer 1

the net ionic equation is,

$H_3O^+ _{(aq)}+ClO^-_{aq}\rightarrow HOCl_{(aq)}+H_2O_{(l)}$

The correct answer is A(Strong Acid +Strong Base)

Extent of this reaction is 100%. Choice D
