Chapter 4, Problem 4.38P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Balanced molecular, total ionic and net ionic equations for below word reaction should be determined.

  $\text{Potassium hydroxide}\left(aq\right)+\text{hydrobromic acid}\left(aq\right)\to$

Concept introduction: Three types of equations are used for representation of ionic reactions. These are mentioned below.

1. Molecular equation

2. Total ionic equation

3. Net ionic equation

In molecular equations indicate reactants and products in undissociated forms. In total ionic equations, total ions that are dissociated in reaction are represented whereas in net ionic reactions, only useful ions are written.

Acid-base reactions are reactions that take place between acid and base. Substances that dissociate in water to release hydrogen or ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions are acids. Substances that dissociate in water to release hydroxide or ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions are bases.
