Aqueous sulfuric acid is neutralized by aqueous potassium hydroxide.

Question

Express your answer as an ionic equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

2KOH + H2SO4 ==>2H2O + K2SO4
2K^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) + 2H^+(aq) + SO4^-2(aq) ==> 2H2O(l) + 2K^+(aq) + SO4^-2(aq)

The net ionic equation is
2OH^-(aq) + 2H^+(aq) ==> 2H2O(l)
Then I would divide by 2 to give simply
OH^-(aq) + H^+(aq) --> H2O(l) but your prof may frown on not putting the coefficients there.
