Sulfuric acid (h2so4) is spilled on a laboratory bench. which chemical would be useful for neutralizing the acid

Sulphuric acid (H2SO2) is a dibasic acid. It generated H + ions when dissolved in water. In order to neutralize an acid, a base containing hydroxy ion (OH-) will be required.

NaOH, Ca (OH) 2, KOH, etc. can be used to neutralize H2SO4.

If NaOH is used as a base, following reaction is initiated.

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + H2O
