The products are H_2OH2O and Na_2SO_4Na2SO4, since this is a double-replacement/neutralization reaction.

Explanation:

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

The two HH atoms in H_2SO_4H2SO4 would react with the hydroxide ion, OH^-OH, in NaOHNaOH to form water, H_2OH2O.

The SO_4SO4 would react with NaNa to form Na_2SO_4Na2SO4 .

H_2SO_4+NaOH->H_2O +Na_2SO_4H2SO4+NaOHH2O+Na2SO4
