Question

Write the balanced equation for the neutralization reaction between h 2 so 4 and koh in aqueous solution. Phases are optional.

Answer 1

Answer:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) →  2H₂O (l)  +  K₂SO₄ (aq)

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt.

Ionization of the acid:

H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺  +  SO₄⁻²

Ionization of the base

KOH → K⁺  +  OH⁻

OH⁻ joins to H⁺  to make water, so the SO₄⁻² will react to the K⁺, to make potassium sulfate.
