Solution

In the given word equation, the compounds are:

  1. Water: It is a compound because it is made up of two different elements, hydrogen and oxygen (H2O).

  2. Potassium Hydroxide: It is also a compound because it is made up of potassium, oxygen, and hydrogen (KOH).

Potassium and Hydrogen are elements, not compounds.
