Answer:
a. H⁺(aq)+ OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will write the molecular equation for the reaction between H₂SO₄ and KOH.
H₂SO₄(aq) + 2 KOH(aq) → K₂SO₄(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)
The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.
2 H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + 2 K⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq) → 2 K⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)
The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.
H⁺(aq)+ OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)
