Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a strong base. Dissociation of potassium hydroxide follows the reaction equation given. KOH(s) --H20--> K+(aq) OH-(aq)   a) Write down the reaction equation for a neutralization reaction where potassium hydroxide (KOH) reacts with sulphuric acid (H2SO4) producing potassium sulphate (K2SO4) and water (H2O). Balance if needed! b) Calculate pH for the solution where 0,2 mol of KOH is dissolved into water so that the total volume of the solution is 0,5 L.
