Question

What salt is produced when sulfuric acid is neutralized by nickel (II) hydroxide?

Answer 1

First, write down the reaction by showing the ions of each reactant:
Ni2+ + (OH-)2 + (H+)2 + (SO4)2-

Then, switch the positive and negative ions to form new compounds:
Ni2+ + (SO4)2- + (OH-)2 + (H+)2
Or: NiSO4 + 2H2O

Thus, your solution is NiSO4.
