What acid and what base would react in aqueous solution so that the following salts appear as products in the molecular equation? Write the balanced molecular equation for each reaction.

a. potassium perchlorate

b. cesium nitrate

c. calcium iodide

A. Perchloric acid and potassium hydroxide

B. Trioxonitrate V acid and Cesium hydroxide

C. Hydroiodic acid and calcium hydroxide

Explanation:

An acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. The acid and the base that reacted for each of the compounds have been written in the answer above. The reaction equations are given below:

A. HClO4 (aq) + KOH (aq) - --> KClO4 (aq) + H2O (l)

B. HNO3 (aq) + CsOH (aq) - ---> CsNO3 (aq) + H2O (l)

C. 2HI (aq) + Ca (OH) 2 (aq) - --> CaI2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
