Which acid and base react to form water and sodium sulfate? 1. sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide 2. sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide 3. sulfurous acid and sodium hydroxide 4. sulfurous acid and potassium hydroxide

Respuesta :

The reaction between (1) Sulfuric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide forms Water [tex] H_2O [/tex] and Sodium Sulfate  [tex]Na_2SO_4[/tex].

An acid-base neutralization reaction between a highly corrosive strong mineral acid (Sulfuric Acid [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex]) and a very strong base (Sodium Hydroxide [tex]NaOH[/tex]) produces an aqueous solution of Sodium Sulfate or Water [tex] H_2O [/tex] and Salt (Sodium Sulfate)  [tex]Na_2SO_4[/tex].
The Chemical Equation is:
[tex]2 NaOH + H_2SO_4[/tex] >>>[tex]Na_2SO_4+2H_2O[/tex]

The acid is sulfuric acid and the base is sodium hydroxide, which produce water and sodium sulfate on reacting. The correct option is 1.

What are acids and bases?

Acids are sour in taste and have lower pH than 7. They turn blue litmus paper red.

Bases are bitter is taste and have more pH than 7. They turn red litmus paper blue.

The reaction is

[tex]\rm H_2SO_4 + NaOH = NaSO_4 + H_2O[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is 1. Sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide.
