Sulfuric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide Neutralization

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

Обзор

Sulfuric acid, a diprotic acid, requires two moles of sodium hydroxide for complete neutralization. The reaction produces sodium sulfate (Glauber's salt) and water. Partial neutralization with one mole of NaOH would produce sodium bisulfate (NaHSO₄) instead.
