Question

Write the balanced equation for the neutralization reaction between h 2 so 4 and koh in aqueous solution. Phases are optional.

Answer 1

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → 2H₂O (l) + K₂SO₄ (aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

Neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt.

Ionization of the acid:

H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ + SO₄⁻²

Ionization of the base

KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻

OH⁻ joins to H⁺ to make water, so the SO₄⁻² will react to the K⁺, to make potassium sulfate.
