Answer:

H2SO4 + 2KOH → K2SO4 + 2H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

In a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base, the positive ion from the base and the negative ion from the acid usually form a salt. In this case, the positive potassium ion (K+) bonds with the polyatomic sulfate ( S O 2 4 ) to form the salt K 2 S O 4.

The water H O H or H 2 O is formed by the positive hydrogen (H + ) ion from the acid and the negative hydroxide ion (OH) from the base.
