Answer:

Double replacement reaction

Explanation:

Now, let us first write the reaction equation properly:

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

The above reaction is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base whose product gives salt and water only at most instances.

From here, we can observe that the species displaces on another in their ionic state. Hydrogen replaces potassium and water is produced. Potassium combines chemically with sulfate ions to give the salt of potassium.

Answer and explanation:

cyclopentadiene is more acidic than cyclopentane

hydrocarbon compound are weak acid in nature

This relative acidity is explained by the stability of

cyclopentadienyl anion which is aromatic in nature

(check the attached image file 1)

To answer this question we must look at the stability of the anions that are formed when the compound lose proton.

All the electron in the cyclopentyl anion are localized.

In contrast, the aromatic cyclopentadienyl anion is a stable carbanion as a result of its aromaticity therefore making its conjugate acid a very strong acid compare to other compounds with hydrogen attached to sp³ carbons
