Using complete sentences, explain how to predict the products and balance the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide.

given the reactants, h2so4 and koh, we are asked to determine the product(s) of the reaction. since h2so4 is an acid and koh is a base. this is a neutralization reaction, thus, the products are salt and water. 

so, h+ from h2so4 will react with oh- from koh forming h2o. k+ will also react with so4 2- forming k2so4. therefore, the balanced reaction will be:

h2so4 + 2koh > k2so4 + 2h2o
