H2OSO4+XKOH K2SO4+YH2 with the calculation

Answer 1

To balance the equation, we need to determine the values of X and Y.

The balanced equation for the reaction is:
H2SO4 + 2KOH -> K2SO4 + 2H2O

From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of H2SO4 reacts with 2 moles of KOH to produce 1 mole of K2SO4 and 2 moles of H2O.

Therefore, we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of KOH, balancing the number of moles of KOH used.

H2SO4 + 2KOH -> K2SO4 + 2H2O

This means that X = 2 and Y = 2.
