🤓 Based on our data, we think this question is relevant for Professor Lalancette's class at NEWARK.

FREE Expert Solution

KHCO3 (aq) → K+ (aq) + HCO3- (aq)

HBr (aq) → H+ (aq) + Br- (aq)


reaction: double displacement

K+ (aq) + Br- (aq) → KBr → soluble bromide → aqueous

H+ (aq) + HCO3- (aq) → H2CO3 (aq) → decomposes into CO2 (g) and H2O (l)


Overall reaction

KHCO3 (aq) + HBr (aq) → H2CO3 (aq) + KBr (aq)
