Two acids `H_(2)SO_(4)` and `H_(3)PO_(4)` are neutralized seqarately by the same amount of an alkali when sulphate and dihydrogen orthophosphate are formed respectively. Find the ratio of the masses of `H_(2)SO_(4)` and `H_(3)PO_(4)`? (P = 31)

Explanation

To find the ratio of the masses of `H₂SO₄` (sulfuric acid) and `H₃PO₄` (phosphoric acid) when they are neutralized by the same amount of an alkali, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the equivalent mass of `H₂SO₄`
- The molar mass of `H₂SO₄` is calculated as follows:
- Hydrogen (H): 1 × 2 = 2 g
- Sulfur (S): 32 g
- Oxygen (O): 16 × 4 = 64 g
- Total = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98 g/mol
