Question

Study the following reaction carefully. What classification should this reaction have? H2SO4 2NaOH Na2SO4 2H2O synthesis decomposition single replacement neutralization

Answer 1

Answer: It is a type of neutralization reaction.

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction: In this reaction, two or more simple substances combine directly to form a complex substance.

$A+B\rightarrow AB$

Decomposition reaction: In this reaction, a single compound breaks down into two or more compounds.

$AB\rightarrow A+B$

Single displacement reaction: In this reaction, one element reacts with a compound to produce another element and another compound.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Neutralization reaction: In this reaction, acid reacts with base to produce a salt and water molecule.

$HA+BOH\rightarrow AB+H_2O$

For a given reaction,

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

$H_2SO_4$ is a acid

NaOH is a base

$Na_2SO_4$ is a salt

As the given reaction is a type of Neutralization Reaction.

Answer 2

For any Acid+Alkaline reaction,Neutralization takes place.
