Certainly! Let's go through matching the salts with their respective acids and bases used to form them in a neutralization reaction.
1. [tex]\( K_2SO_4 \)[/tex] (Potassium Sulfate)
- To form potassium sulfate ([tex]\( K_2SO_4 \)[/tex]), you need a strong base and a strong acid.
- The correct acid-base pair here is: KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) and [tex]\( H_2SO_4 \)[/tex] (Sulfuric Acid)
- Neutralization reaction:
[tex]\[ 2 KOH + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow K_2SO_4 + 2 H_2O \][/tex]
2. NaBr (Sodium Bromide)
- To form sodium bromide ([tex]\( NaBr \)[/tex]), the necessary sodium base and bromide acid are:
- The correct acid-base pair here is: NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) and HBr (Hydrobromic Acid)
- Neutralization reaction:
[tex]\[ NaOH + HBr \rightarrow NaBr + H_2O \][/tex]
So, the correct matches are:
1. Potassium Sulfate ([tex]\( K_2SO_4 \)[/tex]) is formed by:
- KOH and [tex]\( H_2SO_4 \)[/tex]
2. Sodium Bromide (NaBr) is formed by:
- NaOH and HBr
