what is the product of H2SO4+2H2O
Answers
Answer:
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2HOH(l)
Explanation:
When writing a chemical equation, it’s always handy to include the state symbols.
H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2HOH(l)
Sodium hydroxide is a base and neutralizes sulfuric acid. A dissolved salt is found in the solution and molecules of water are produced.
H+ + HSO4^- + 2Na+ + 2OH- → 2Na+ + SO4^2- + 2HOH(l) ….. ionic equation
Sulfuric acid exists in solution as H+ and HSO4^- ions. Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, but only for the first H+ which comes off. The remaining HSO4^- is a weak acid and is not ionized.
H+ + HSO4^- + 2OH- → SO4^2- + 2HOH(l) ….. net ionic equation
Only the ions and molecules which are part of the reaction are shown. Na+ is a “spectator ion.” It doesn’t do anything.
