Question

which of the following is the correct word equation for the reaction described below? when sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfate and water form. sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium sulfate + water sulfuric acid → sodium hydroxide + sodium sulfate + water sodium sulfate + water → sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide sodium sulfate + sulfuric acid → sodium hydroxide + water

Explanation:

The reaction is between sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide (reactants) to form sodium sulfate and water (products). The word equation should have reactants on the left of the arrow and products on the right. The first option has sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide (reactants) → sodium sulfate + water (products), which matches the reaction description.

Answer:

A. sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium sulfate + water
