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

How many liters of CO2 form at STP if 5.0 g of<br> CaCO3 are treated with excess hydrochloric acid?
amid [387]

Answer: STP

CaCO3 = 5 g

Convert gram to mol

100 g of CaCO3   = 1 mol

5 g of  CaCO3 (n)  = 5 g *(1 mol/100 g) = 0.05 mol

Gas law  

PV =nRT

V = nRT/P  

V = (0.05 mol * (0.08206 L atm /K mol) *273 K)/1 atm

V = 1.124 L

Write a chemical equation depicting what happens to the sugar in water.
zysi [14]
Assuming that you mean table sugar (sucrose), then at room temperature and without any catalyst, there is no reaction. 

However if you elevate and hold the temperature of the aqueous solution at 50 to 60 °C (especially in the presence of a suitable catalyst, like mineral acid) the sucrose dimer will split into glucose and fructose. This is called hydrolysis and the resulting solution is called an invert sugar solution. 

The reaction could be written as: 

C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O (water) → C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) 

or 

C12H22O11 (aq) + H2O (l) → C6H12O6 (aq) + C6H12O6 (aq) 

Notice that both of the produced sugars have the same empirical formula. Check with your instructor or in your textbook to see if more exact formulas are needed.

Vitellium (Vi) has the following composition:Vi-188: 187.9122 amu; 10.861%Vi-191: 190.9047 amu; 12.428%Vi-193: 192.8938 amu; 76.
yKpoI14uk [10]
10.861% / 100 = 0.10861

12.428 % / 100 = 0.12428

(0.10861 * 187.9122) + (0.12428 * 190.9407) <span>+ (0.76711 x 192.8938)</span>

= 192.1100 amu .

hope this helps!
