Question 3 • IA-Chemistry A Survey of Chemistry A

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.

Answer
A
sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium sulfate + water
B
sulfuric acid → sodium hydroxide + sodium sulfate + water
C
sodium sulfate + water → sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide
D
sodium sulfate + sulfuric acid → sodium hydroxide + water

Explanation

A word equation places the reactants before the arrow and the products after it. The question says sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, so those are the reactants; sodium sulfate and water form, so those are the products. This matches “sulfuric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium sulfate + water,” choice A.
