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

Answer 1

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH --> K₂SO₄ + H₂O is not balanced.

This is balanced:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2 KOH (aq) --> 2 H₂O (l) + K₂SO₄ (aq)

1 mole of the acid provides 2 moles of H⁺ and requires 2 moles of OH^- to react with it, making 2 moles of H₂O.

Answer 2

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) --> 2H₂O (l) + K₂SO_{4 (aq)}

Answer 3

This is the neutralization reaction between an acid and a base

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH --> K₂SO₄ + H₂O
