HCl + KOH = H2O + KCl
Step 1. Separate into ions.
H^+ + Cl^- + K^+ + OH^- = H2O + K^+ + Cl^-
This is the TOTAL ionic equation.
Note that H2O is not an ionic compound so Ieft that as a molecule.
Step 2. Cancel those ions on both side that are the same; i.e., I see Cl^- on both sides and I see K^+ on both sides.
H^+ + OH^- ==> H2O
This is the NET ionic equation.
HCl+KOH=H2O+KCL net ionic equation
