Question

Select the most likely product for this reaction:

KOH(aq) + CO2(g) – ?
K2CO3(aq) + H2O(1)
K(s) + H2(g) + O2(g)
K(s) + CO3(9) +H2

Answer 1

K2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

Balance the equation

2KOH(aq) + CO2(g) ------ K2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)

Answer 2

K2CO3(aq) + H2O(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

KOH(aq) + CO2(g) is an acid-base reaction.

KOH is a known base and CO2 is a known acidic gas. It dissolves in water to give a solution whose pH is less than 7.

The normal products of a neutralization process is the salt and water. Hence, this neutralization process isn't any different. Salt, in the form of K2CO3, and water, H2O is the result of this reaction.
