Question

balance equation stepwise- NaOH+H2SO4= Na2SO4+H2O

Answer 1

2NaOH + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2 H2O

Answer 2

hey..

step1 ---> write the unbalanced equation with correct formulaes
NaOH + H2SO4 -------> Na2SO4 + H20

Step2---> compare the no.of atoms on both sides
Na LHS=1 RHS=2
O LHS=5 RHS=5
H LHS=3 RHS=2
S LHS=1 RHS=1

Step3----> balance the equation
2NaOH + H2SO4 ----> Na2SO4 + 2H20

Step4---> verify the no.of atoms on both sides

Na LHS=2 RHS=2
O LHS=6 RHS=6
H LHS=4 RHS=4
S LHS=1 RHS=1
