The net ionic equation for the reaction between 2KOH and H2SO4 to form K2SO4 and water is: 2OH- + 2H+ -> 2H2O
OH- 2H+ -> 2H2O(I) ywwww :)
This answer balances a theoretical reaction that does not occur in nature. 2KOH + Zn -> Zn(OH)2 + 2K Zn actually dissolves in strong base to form a so called "zincate" which was traditionally gven the formula of ZnO22- . It is now recognised that these zincate ions are hydrated to various degrees and one such ion is (Zn(OH)4)2- . Zn + 2KOHaq -> K2ZnO2aq +H2
OH- 2H+ -> 2H2O(I) ywwww :)
