Write a net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous acetic acid and aqueous potassium hydroxide

Explanation:

Acetic acid is an weak acid. Therefore it does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution.

Potassium hydroxide is a strong base. Therefore it dissociates completely in aqueous solution.

An acid-base reaction occurs between acetic acid and potassium hydroxide.

Molecular equation:

Total ionic:

Net ionic:

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
