Solution

Dear Student

Sodium hydroxide reacts with sulphuric acid to form the corresponding salt and water.

Reaction: NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na ₂SO₄+ H₂O

Salt: Na ₂SO₄ : Sodium sulphate
Number of atoms in Na ₂SO₄ = 2 atoms of sodium (Na) + 1 atom of sulphur + 4 atoms of oxygen = 7 atoms

number of atoms in Na₂SO₄ = 7
