Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrobromic acid (HBr) are combined, they undergo a neutralization reaction where the hydrogen ion (H+) from HBr combines with the hydroxide ion (OH-) from KOH to form water (H2O). The remaining ions, K+ (potassium) and Br- (bromide), combine to form potassium bromide (KBr). Therefore, the correct answer is A, potassium bromide and water. None of the other options represent the correct products of this reaction.
