Question

Answer the following three questions. Write the products for the following two acid/base reactions:

1) HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> _____________________________________

2) HOAc(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> _____________________________________.

3) Note the stoichiometric ratios of the coefficients with regard to the number of moles of water produced. . . In both cases the number of moles of water produced is _____________ (calculate the actual number of moles of water produced).

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid base reaction is a type of process in which one or more mole of hydrogen (H+) ion/s exchange between species to species may form acetic acid or water (neutral molecules) or electrically charged molecules like hydroxide.

1) HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) ----> NaCl + H₂O

2) HOAc (aq) + NaOH (aq) ----> NaOAc + H₂O

3) 1 mole of water produced in both cases,

by observing the equation 1 & 2 all compounds have one mole, it couldn't affect the moles number, i.e if 1 mole of HCl and 1mole of NaOH may give 1 mole of H₂O, or if 1 mole of HOAc and 1mole of NaOH may give 1 mole of H₂O, so number of moles of water (H₂O) is = 1mole

The stoichiometric ratios of coefficient with regard to the number of moles of water produced is 1mole i.e by definition of mole ratio of chemical reaction if 1mole of hydrogen (H) utilized then 1mole of water will be produced
