Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the reaction between HNO₃ (hypothetical acid) and KOH (a base), the acid donates a hydrogen ion (H+) to the base, forming water (H2O) and a salt. The salt formed would be the potassium salt of the original acid, which is represented by replacing the hydrogen in the acid with potassium (K), resulting in KNO₃.
