it says, balanced chemical equation for the reaction between HCI and K(OH)
It also says identify the acid, the base, the conjugate acid, the conjugate base and the salt.
Please, how do i do this?

HCl + KOH —> KCl + HOH
HCl is the reacting acid, its conjugate base is the Cl ion in the salt
the OH ion in KOH is the reacting base; its conjugate acid is the HOH
This is not the best example of Bonsted Lowry acid base theory unless you write the HCl(aq) as H₃O⁺¹Cl⁻¹. This reaction is best explained as an Arrhenius acid/base neutralization and leave the conjugate theory to other reactions.
HCl + KOH –> H2O + KCl
For how to do this: I’m in highschool and my friend in AP Chemistry started a website to help guide people through chemistry from the day they walk in to the day they leave the class. He’s pretty good at explaining things and has a great explanation how to do these kinds of problems here :
under his “Writing a Balanced Chemical Equation“ and “Reaction Types” pages (He also makes complementary videos posted there in case you don’t like to read haha)
Not only can he help you on this topic, but chemistry in general. The site’s pretty user friendly and worth a look! If you leave a question on any of his videos he’ll make a video response to guide you through how he did it pretty quick. Hope he helps!
Whenever an acid and a base react, they do a double displacement reaction to form water (H2O) and a salt. Balancing equations just means that there are the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. For this particular one, they will all be in 1 molar ratios to each other and is already balanced. In most cases, once you ID the original acid and base on the left side of the equation, you can find their “conjugates” on the right side. However, this reaction only produces the neutral salt and water. The resulting water can be either a conjugate base or acid, depending on the pKa’s of the other acid/base. Generally, it acts as an acid though.

At a guess: TiO2 + 2C + 2Cl2 –> TiCl4 + 2CO C is a solid, Cl2 a gas (I think) and CO is definately a gas. No clue about the other two. Why not look it up? You must have data tables or something.
