Given the reactants, H2SO4 and KOH, we are asked to determine the product(s) of the reaction. Since H2SO4 is an acid and KOH is a base. This is a neutralization reaction, thus, the products are salt and water. 

So, H+ from H2SO4 will react with OH- from KOH forming H2O. K+ will also react with SO4 2- forming K2SO4. Therefore, the balanced reaction will be:

H2SO4 + 2KOH ---> K2SO4 + 2H2O

Answer:

H2SO4 + 2KOH ⟶ 2H2O + K2SO4

Explanation:

This is a neutralization reaction because the acid, sulfuric acid, reacts with a base potassium hydroxide. The products of neutralization reactions are water and a salt, in this case potassium sulfate.

H2SO4 + KOH ⟶ H2O + K2SO4

This equation needs to be balanced.

_____H2SO4 + __2___KOH __2___H2O + _____K2SO4

Because there are two potassium atoms in the products, place a two in front of potassium hydroxide in the reactants. There are six oxygen atoms in the reactants so place a two in front of the water in the products to balance the oxygen atoms. There are four hydrogens and one sulfate atom on both sides of the reaction so it is balanced.

H2SO4 + 2KOH ⟶ 2H2O + K2SO4

A 0.590 gram sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to:
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Molar mass of the metal = 59.0 g/mol

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of water at 25^oC  = 23.78 torr

We are given:

Total vapor pressure = 756.0 torr

Vapor pressure of hydrogen gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = (756.0 - 23.78) torr = 732.22 torr

To calculate the amount of hydrogen gas collected, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 732.22 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 255 mL = 0.255 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L )

T = Temperature of the gas = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of hydrogen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

732.22 torr\times 0.255L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{732.22\times 0.255}{62.3637\times 298}=0.01mol

From the reaction shown below:-

M+H_2SO_4\rightarrow MSO_4+H_2

1 mole of hydrogen gas is produced when 1 mole of the metal is reacted.

Also,

0.01 mole of hydrogen gas is produced when 0.01 mole of the metal is reacted.

Moles of the metal = 0.01 mol

Mass taken = 0.590 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.01\ mole= \frac{0.590\ g}{Molar\ mass}

Molar mass of the metal = 59.0 g/mol

A neutralization reaction between an acid and sodium hydroxide formed water and the salt named sodium sulfate. What was the form
myrzilka [38]

Answer: The formula of the acid that was neutralized is H_2SO_4

Explanation:

Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which acid and base combine to form salt and water. Acids donate H^+ and bases donate OH^- in water which combine to form water molecules.

As the salt formed is Na_2SO_4 , the acid must contain SO_4 and thus the acid is H_2SO_4

The balanced chemical reaction is ;

H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

The formula of the acid that was neutralized is H_2SO_4
