Question

Aqueous sulfuric acid (H,SO) will react with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqueous sodium sulfate (Na2SO) and liquid water (H O). Suppose 7.8 g of sulfuric acid is mixed with 3.65 g of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the maximum mass of water that could be produced by the chemical reaction Round your answer to 3 significant digits. 09

Answer 1

H₂SO4 + 2 NaOH → Na₂SO4 + 2 H₂O 1 mol of H₂SO4 reacts with 2 mol of NaOH and produces 2 mol of H₂O 98,08 g of H₂SO4 Beacts with (2x40) g = 80 g of Nach : 7.8 g of H₂SO4 reacts with 80 x 7,8 g = 6,36 g 98.089 of NaOH i. Naoh is the limiting reagent 30 g of Naot produces (2 x 18 g = 36 g of H₂O 3.65 g of Nalth prooduces 368 3.65 g = 1.64 g 80 of H2O . Maximum mass of waters that could be produced is [1.64 g
