24 of 24 Part B Write equations for the reaction of 1 mol of sulfuric acid with 2 mol of potassium hydroxide. Express your answer as a chemical equation

Solution

Sulfuric acid is a dibasic acid wheras potassium hydroxide is monoacidic base. Hence, 1 mol of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of potassium hydroxide as:

H2SO4 + 2KOH <======> K2SO4 + 2H2O

The reaction resuts the formation of salt and water.
