Sulfuric Acid and Potassium Hydroxide

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

Tổng quan

Sulfuric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide to form potassium sulfate and water. This diprotic neutralization requires two equivalents of base. Potassium sulfate is a premium fertilizer providing both potassium and sulfur without chloride.
