Question

Write and balance the chemical equation that represents the reaction of aqueous sulfuric acid with aqueous sodium hydroxide to form water and sodium sulfate. Include phases.

Answer 1

H2SO4_aq+NaOH_aq => Na2[SO4]_s+2[H2O]

Answer 2

The equation for the reaction between aqueous sulfuric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide to form water and sodium sulfate is:

H₂SO₄(aq)  + 2NaOH(aq) —> 2H₂O(l) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

The equation for the reaction between aqueous sulfuric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide to form water and sodium sulfate can be written as follow:

Sulfuric acid => H₂SO₄  

Sodium hydroxide => NaOH

Water => H₂O

Sodium sulfate => Na₂SO₄

Sulfuric acid + Sodium hydroxide —> Water + Sodium sulfate

H₂SO₄  + NaOH —> H₂O + Na₂SO₄

The above equation can be balance as follow:

H₂SO₄  + NaOH —> H₂O + Na₂SO₄

There are 2 atoms of Na on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by writing 2 before NaOH as shown below:

H₂SO₄  + 2NaOH —> H₂O + Na₂SO₄

There are a total of 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂O as shown below:

H₂SO₄(aq)  + 2NaOH(aq) —> 2H₂O(l) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

Now, the equation is balanced.
