What type of reaction is: sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide -> potassium sulfate + water?
a. double replacement
b. combustion
c. single replacement
d. decomposition

Double replacement reaction

Explanation:

Now, let us first write the reaction equation properly:

     H₂SO₄ + 2KOH ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

The above reaction is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base whose product gives salt and water only at most instances.

From here, we can observe that the species displaces on another in their ionic state. Hydrogen replaces potassium and water is produced. Potassium combines chemically with sulfate ions to give the salt of potassium.

b. acid is the correct answer @jayxboof all social media

acid : acids are those which accepts an electron-pairs.

base : bases are those which donates ab electron-pairs.

alkali : it is a base that dissolves in water. it is basically a base and the ph greater than 7.

hydroxide ion : it is a poly-atomic ion which is negatively charged.

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error
