Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neutralization reaction of HI (hydroiodic acid) with potassium hydroxide (KOH) will form water and a salt. In this case, the salt formed will be potassium iodide (KI), which is composed of the cation from potassium and the anion from iodine. The formula for water is H2O, which is not one of the choices. However, one of the choices includes H₂O which may be a typo and meant to be H2SO4. Nevertheless, the correct answer is B, which includes KI as the salt product.
