What is Ionic Equation for the reaction between sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide?

Chemical equation is:

H2SO4 + NaOH --> Na2SO4 + H2O

Then, what is the ionic equation?

What is Ionic Equation for the reaction between sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide?

Chemical equation is:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH --> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Then, what is the ionic equation?

From my opinion,
should be like this : 2H⁺ + 2OH^- --> 2H₂O

after simplify : H⁺ + OH^- --> H₂O

okay, thanks for sharing.

How about this? just my idea.
                2H+ + 2OH-  -> H2O
                2Na+ + SO42- -> Na2SO4
  Thus ,     2Na+ + SO42-+ 2H+ + 2OH- -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

The salt, sodium sulphate formed is soluble in water. Hence it will dissociate in solution to exist in the form of ions, Na⁺, SO₄ ^2- , therefore the Na⁺ and SO₄^2- ions on both sides of the ionic equations will cancel out leaving only H⁺  +    OH^- -----  H₂O
  In fact this is the common ionic equation for all neutralisation reactions involving acids and alkalis.
   Hope it helps.T.Q.
