Question

2KOH+H2SO4=k2SO4+2H2O Is a balanced equation, displaying the combination of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid increase potassium sulfate and water. According to this chemical equation, how many moles of potassium hydroxide will be needed to make 4 moles of K2SO4?

Answer 1

The number of moles of potassium hydroxide, KOH required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is 8 moles of KOH

Step-by-step explanation:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

From the above reaction, we have 2 moles of KOH combining with 1 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1 mole of K₂SO₄ and 2 moles of H₂O.

Therefore the number of moles of potassium hydroxide that will be needed to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄ is;

8KOH + 4H₂SO₄ → 4K₂SO₄ + 8H₂O

8 moles of KOH is required to make 4 moles of K₂SO₄.
