Question

HEELP ME PLEASE!
Balance the chemical equations.
a) KOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) -> K2SOa(aq)

Answer 1

what is K2SOa...K2SO4?...and why are there no Hs on the product side..or is that part of the problem?

Answer 2

the numbers are suppose to be lower case but i don't know how to put that in here...

Answer 3

\[4KOH+2H _{2}SO _{4}--->2K _{2}SO _{4} +8H ^{+}\]

Answer 4

May I ask how you did that? ):

Answer 5

So, as a rule of thumb balance H's last
I tried to balance the K's first. I noticed that the products had twice as many as the reactants, so i knew that koh had to be double k2so4. Next i tried to balance the O's

Answer 6

Seeing that i had too many on the reactants side, i doubled the only o's on the products. But wait doubling this changed the K's...so i then had to change the k in the reactant side to 4. Lastly i just counted the h's and balance them

Answer 7

Ooooh alright, thank you! :)

Answer 8

no problem..sorry its a little hard to explain

Answer 9

\[KOH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) -> K2SO4 (aq) + H2O\]

Answer 10

your k's arent balanced in the last post
