Why Sulphuric acid can form two types of salts?

 Why Sulphuric acid can form two types of salts?

Dilute Sulphuric acid reacts with a base to form salt and water. Sulphuric acid is a dibasic acid and it can produce two types of anions i.e. Sulphate ion (SO42-  ) and bisulphate ion (HSO41- ) when it is dissolved in water. Hence Sulphuric acid can form two types salts i.e. a normal salt and an acid salt when it reacts with a base.

H2SO4 + NaOH  --> NaHSO4 + H2O

H2SO4 + 2NaOH  --> Na2SO4 + 2H2O
