When aqueous solutions of potassium acetate and hydrobromic acid are mixed, an aqueous solution of potassium bromide and acetic acid results. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction. (Use the solubility rules provided in the OWL Preparation Page to determine the solubility of compounds.)

Answer 1

This reaction is ion exchange reaction. while dissolving the potassium acetate in to water it dissociates into potassium +1 ion and acetate -1 ion while HBr follows the same and dissociates into H⁺ and Br^- they exchange their ions with each other and form KBr and CH₃COOH.

CH₃COO^-K⁺ + H⁺Br^-   $\rightarrow$ CH₃COOH + KBr
