Answer:
Both reactions are balanced with respect to mass and charge (and they must be). The difference is the stoichiometry. Only the 1 equiv sodium hydroxide was added in the 2nd equation, therefore, the diprotic sulfuric acid reacted to give sodium bisulfate, N
a HSO4 , which is still a fairly strong acid, and only the one equiv of water. Capisce?
