Answer to Question #106428 in Inorganic Chemistry for Michelle

Question

A mass of 3.2g of xOH reacts completely with 20 cubic cm of 2M sulphuric(vi)acid (O=16,H=1).Write the equation for the reaction

Answer 1

Assuming $X$ be a metal or electron donor,

$XOH$ be a base and sulfuric acid an acid,it will be an acid-base neutralization reaction.

$X$ is a monovalent atom$(X^+OH^-)$

Equation will be:

$2XOH+H_2SO_4\to X_2SO_4+2H_2O$
