Answer:
Balanced reaction is: H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Na₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)
Explanation:
We determine the reactants:
H₂SO₄ → Sulfuric acid
NaOH → Sodium hydroxide
When a strong acid and a strong base react each other, it is produced water and a determined salt. This is a reaction of neutralization
We dissociate the reactants:
H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ + SO₄⁻²
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
2H⁺ + 2OH⁻ → 2H₂O
2Na⁺ + SO₄⁻² → Na₂SO₄
Balanced reaction is: H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Na₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)
