The equation that occurs when dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution in a beaker can be written as:
HCl + KOH -> KCl + H2O
This equation represents a neutralization reaction, where the hydrogen ions (H+) from hydrochloric acid combine with the hydroxide ions (OH-) from potassium hydroxide to form water (H2O). The potassium ion (K+) from potassium hydroxide combines with the chloride ion (Cl-) from hydrochloric acid to form potassium chloride (KCl).
