Write ionic equation for the reaction between potassium and an acid

1 answer

What acid? HCl?
The molecular equation is as follows:
2K(s) + 2HCl(aq) ==> 2KCl(aq) + H2(g)
Convert to ionic equation.
2K(s) + 2H^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ==> 2K^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) +H2(g)
The NET IONIC equation is
2K(s) + 2H^+(aq) ==> 2K^+(aq) + H2(g)
