Acetic acid is reacting with potassium hydroxide.
00:05
To write the overall equation or the natanic equation, we must know the chemical formulas.
00:12
So the chemical formula of acetic acid is ch3cooh plus potassium hydroxide is koh.
00:20
It is an acid -base reaction.
00:23
During an acid -base reaction, an acid and a base reacts to form salt and water.
00:29
Here the salt form is ch3cook plus water.
00:35
This is the overall equation.
00:38
Cooh exists in both koh exists in aqueous medium and water is represented as liquid.
00:47
Now we also have to write the natanic equation.
00:50
We know that acetic acid is a weak acid.
00:58
By weak acid, we mean that ch3cooh does not completely dissociate into its constituent ions when dissolved in water.
01:07
So some of the ch3cooh remain as it is and some dissociates to give ch3coo - ions and hydrogen ions...
