Well, neutralization occurs when equivalent quantities are added....

Explanation:

H_2SO_4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) rarr K_2SO_4(aq) + 2H_2O(l)

The strong acid is deprotonated by two equiv of potassium hydroxide, with the production of potassium sulfate salt, and water....

K_2SO_4(salt) and H_2O(water) are formed

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical Equation:

2KOH +H_2SO_4 -----------> K_2SO_4 + 2H_2O

As it is a neutralization reaction because it involves the reaction of an acid(H_2SO_4) with base(KOH). That's why the products are salt and water.
Hope it helps...
