The products are H_2O and Na_2SO_4, since this is a double-replacement/neutralization reaction.

Explanation:

This is a double-replacement neutralization (acid-base) reaction:

The two H atoms in H_2SO_4 would react with the hydroxide ion, OH^-, in NaOH to form water, H_2O.

The SO_4 would react with Na to form Na_2SO_4 .

H_2SO_4+NaOH->H_2O +Na_2SO_4
