Answer:

d . H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The given reactions are:

a . 2HgO → 2Hg + O₂,

It is a decomposition reaction, that HgO is decomposed to give Hg and O.

b . Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ → BaSO₄ + 2NaCl,

It is a double replacement reaction where two salts replaces their cations and anions with each others producing 2 new salts.

c . Zn + 2AgNO₃ → Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag,

It is a single replacement reaction, that Zn replaces Ag from its salt.

d . H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

It is acid-base reaction "neutralization reaction" where H₂SO₄ (acid) reacts with KOH (base) producing K₂SO₄ (salt) and water.

  • So, the right choice is:

d . H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
