_____NaOH + _____H2 SO4 _____ Na2SO4 + _____ H2O ,
To balance this equation,
Step 1:
Balance the number of sodium on both side:
by multiplying the NaOH by 2 that is:
2NaOH+H2SO4-------->Na2SO4+H2O
Step2:
As NOW the number of oxygen atom and hydrogen atom are not equal on both sides. So we multiply this H2O by 2 that is:
2NaOH+H2SO4-------->Na2SO4+2H2O
Now the no of all atoms on product side is equal to no of all atoms in the reactant side.
so the coefficient is 2 NaOH+1 H2SO4-------->1 Na2SO4+2 H2O.
