Question

In which of the following combinations will the acid and base combine to form sodium sulfite? a) NaOH and H2SO3 b) NaOH and H2SO4 c) Na(OH)2 and H2SO3 d) Na(OH)2 and H2SO4 In which of the following combinations will the acid and base combine to form sodium sulfite? a) NaOH and H2SO3 b) NaOH and H2SO4 c) Na(OH)2 and H2SO3 d) Na(OH)2 and H2SO4 In which of the following combinations will the acid and base combine to form sodium sulfite? a) NaOH and H2SO3 b) NaOH and H2SO4 c) Na(OH)2 and H2SO3 d) Na(OH)2 and H2SO4

Explanation / Answer

Sodium hydroxide reacts with sulphurous acid to give sodium sulfite. The equation for the reaction is

2 NaOH + H2SO3 -> Na2SO3 + 2 H2O
