The compound that could serve as a reactant in the neutralization reaction is H2SO4
Explanation
Neutralization reaction occur between an acids and a base. H2SO4 ( sulfuric acid) is a strong acid. It can be neutralized by strong base such as NaOH ( sodium hydroxide)
Example of neutralization reaction is
2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
