Enter the net ionic equation for the reaction between HF (a weak acid) and KOH.
Express your answer as a net ionic equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Explanation:

Since, HF is a weak acid so it will partially dissociate into the solution. Whereas KOH is a strong base therefore, it will completely dissociate into its constituent ions as [tex]K^{+}[/tex] and [tex]OH^{-}[/tex].

The chemical equation for this reaction is as follows.

        [tex]HF + K^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow K^{+} + F^{+} + H_{2}O[/tex]

On cancelling the spectator ions from both the sides in the above equation we will get the net ionic equation as follows.

       [tex]HF + OH^{-} \rightarrow F^{-} + H_{2}O[/tex]
