Detailed information about the equation ZnCl2 + KOH -> Zn(OH)2 + 2KCl
The substances involved in the reaction include ZnCl2 (zinc chloride solution) and KOH (potassium hydroxide hydrolysis). The product of the reaction is Zn(OH)2 (zinc hydroxide) and KCl (potassium chloride).
-
Reaction conditions
This reaction takes place under normal conditions with standard temperature and pressure.
-
Reaction process
When ZnCl2 and KOH react with each other, the Zn2+ ion in ZnCl2 will combine with the OH- ion in KOH to form Zn(OH)2, while the K+ ion in KOH will combine with the Cl- ion in ZnCl2 to form KCl.

Observed phenomenon
During the reaction process, a white precipitate of zinc hydroxide Zn(OH)2 will appear.
