States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
![**Net Ionic Equation for the Reaction between Potassium Hydroxide and Hydroiodic Acid**
*Instructions:*
Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of **potassium hydroxide** and **hydroiodic acid** are combined.
*(Use H⁺ instead of H₃O⁺)*
*Diagram:*
- There are several empty boxes where the formula components of the equation can be filled out.
- Plus signs and an arrow indicate the structure of the equation:
- Reactants on the left side with plus signs between them.
- An arrow points to the products on the right.
When forming the equation, consider the dissociation of the compounds in water:
1. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) dissociates into K⁺ and OH⁻.
2. Hydroiodic acid (HI) dissociates into H⁺ and I⁻.
The net ionic equation focuses on the ions that participate directly in the reaction:
\[ \text{OH}^- (aq) + \text{H}^+ (aq) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \]
This equation shows the formation of water when hydroxide ions (OH⁻) react with hydrogen ions (H⁺).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0711daf6-3b19-448b-99c0-3e7fe08f4fe3%2Fdc6e6549-3e41-4115-8680-8c8386cf98f4%2F03wtrlm_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
