Question
Give reasons for the following:
Sulphuric acid forms two types of salts with \[\ce{NaOH}\].
Solution
Sulphuric acid generates two types of salts with NaOH due to its dibasic nature, producing two hydronium ions per molecule when ionised in water.
\[\ce{NaOH + H2SO4 → \underset{sodium hydrogen sulphate}{NaHSO4} + H2O}\]
\[\ce{\underset{Sodium sulphate}{2NaOH + H2SO4} -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O}\]
