Question

Write the balanced neutralization reaction that occurs between H 2 SO 4 and KOH in aqueous solution. Phases are optional.

Answer 1

H2SO4 + 2KOH —> K2SO4 + 2H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

The predicted equation is given as shown below:

H2SO4 + KOH —> K2SO4 + H2O

Now we need to balance the equation. To do this, put 2 in front of KOH, we have:

H2SO4 + 2KOH —> K2SO4 + H2O

Now we need to balance H20. This can be achieved by putting 2 in front of H2O., as shown below

H2SO4 + 2KOH —> K2SO4 + 2H2O

From above, we see that each element are balanced on both side
