Answer is: the spectator ions in the this reaction is K ⁺ and SO₄²⁻.

Chemical reaction: 2KOH (aq) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → 2H₂O (l) + K₂SO₄ (aq).

Ionic reaction: 2K ⁺ + 2OH⁻ + 2H⁺ + SO₄²⁻ → 2H₂O + 2K⁺ + SO₄²⁻.

Net ionic reaction: 2OH⁻ + 2H⁺ → 2H₂O.

A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation.
