HCHO2 is a weird way of writing formic acid, which is usually written CHOOH. As you might be able to guess from it's name, it's an acid. KOH is a base. Like most acids and bases, they react to make water, and a salt. The salt in this case would be potassium formate.

'HCHO2' m which should be written as 'HCOOH'. is methanoic acid.

Being an acid it will react with an alkali.

Hence

HCOOH + KOH = HCOO^-K^+ + H2O

HCOO^-K^+ is potassium methanoate.

What mass of h2o is produced when 0.400 moles of koh react completely in the following equation koh plus hcl equals kcl plus h2o?

I assume KOH is limiting. Balanced equation. KOH + HCl -> KCl + H2O 0.400 moles KOH (1 mole H2O/1 mole KOH)(18.016 grams/1 mole H2O) = 7.21 grams water produced =====================

In the reaction MgCl2 plus 2KOH and 65532 Mg(OH)2 plus 2KCl how many moles of KOH react with 1 mole of MgCl2?

From the balanced equation it can be seen that it takes 2 moles KOH to react with each 1 mole of MgCl2. So, the answer is 2.


Is KH an acid?

No. KH (potassium hydride) is a base. It will react with water in this manner: KH + H2O --> KOH + H2


In the reaction MgCl2 plus 2KOH---Mg(OH)2 plus 2KCl how many moles of KOH react with 1 mole of MgCl2?

MgCl2 + 2KOH ==> Mg(OH)2 + 2KCl1 mole MgCl2 reacts with 2 moles KOH 2 moles KOH x 56.1 g/mole = 112.2 g KOH = 100 g KOH (to 1 significant figure based on 1 mole)
