Explanation:

The equation of the reaction;

KHSO4(aq) + KOH(aq) -------> K2SO4(aq) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of KHSO4 = 49.6 g/136.169 g/mol = 0.36 moles

Since the reaction is in a mole ratio of 1:1, 0.36 moles of K2SO4 is produced.

Number of moles of KOH = 25.3 g/56.1056 g/mol = 0.45 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1, 0.45 moles of K2SO4 is produced

Hence K2SO4 is the limiting reactant.

Mass of K2SO4 formed = 0.36 moles of K2SO4 * 174.26 g/mol = 62.7 g

So;

1 mole of KHSO4 reacts with 1 mole of KOH

0.36 moles of KHSO4 reacts with 0.36 * 1/1 = 0.36 moles of KOH

Amount of excess KOH = 0.45 moles - 0.36 moles = 0.09 moles

Mass of excess KOH = 0.09 moles * 56.1056 g/mol  = 5 g of excess KOH
