How do we represent the neutralization of sulfuric acid by sodium hydroxide in a stoichiometrically balanced chemical equation?

Answer 1

#H_2SO_4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) rarr Na_2SO_4(aq) + 2H_2O(l)#

The two questions you should ask yourself when writing or thinking about a chemical equation are: (i) is mass balanced? and (ii) is charge balanced? If the answers are not both yes, you can be certain that the equation does not accurately represent reality. Are these requirements met in this case?

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
