KH + HCl → H2 + KCl
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): KH is a base, HCl is an acid.
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
HI + e- → H0 (reduction)
H-I - 1 e- → H0 (oxidation)
HCl is an oxidizing agent, KH is a reducing agent (synproportionation (comproportionation)).
Reactants:
- KH
- HCl – Chlorane , Hydrogen chloride
- Other names: Hydrochloric acid , M , Uriatic acid
- Appearance: Colorless, transparent liquid, fumes in air if concentrated ; Colorless gas ; Colourless compressed liquefied gas with pungent odour ; Colorless to slightly yellow gas with a pungent, irritating odor. [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.]
