Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.
Chemical Reaction Information
This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): H2SO4 is an acid, NaOH is a base.
Sulfuric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Sulfate + Water
