Answer:
- The complete ionic equation is;
H⁺(aq)CHO₂⁻(aq) + K⁺(aq) OH⁻(aq) → K⁺(aq) CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)
H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
Explanation:
- The balanced equation for the reaction between HCHO₂ and KOH is given by;
HCHO₂(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCHO₂(aq) + H₂O(l)
- Ionic equation involves writing a balanced equation showing all the ions in a chemical reaction.
- The complete ionic equation will therefore be;
H⁺(aq)CHO₂⁻(aq) + K⁺(aq) OH⁻(aq) → K⁺(aq) CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)
- Net ionic equation on the other hand, shows only the ions that are directly involved in the reaction and omits the spectator ions.
- The net ionic equation will be;
H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
