Question

What is the word formula and equations for the reaction in wich aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide react to form aqueous sodium sulfate and water???plz help

Answer 1

Ok, relax.

aqueous just means that it is dissolved in water with is a fancy way of saying the reaction is possible if all the reagents are dissovled in water.

sulfuric acid. H2SO4. there is a way in which acids are named but for times sake Ill let you get into you books to figure that on out.

Hydroxide is OH- Hydrogen hydroxide HOH is water

NaOH

sulfate anion is SO4 (-2) meaning that it has two extra elections with wants to share.

Na is in Group 1 mean it can only share one each meaning you need 2

Na2SO4 sol...

H2SO4 + NaOH -> Na2SO4 + H2O

now you need to balance the equation to have equal numbers of each element on both sides.

H2SO4 + 2 NaOH -> Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
