Answer to Question #164048 in General Chemistry for h

Question

Aqueous sulfuric acid H2SO4 will react with solid sodium hydroxide NaOH to produce aqueous sodium sulfate Na2SO4 and liquid water H2O

. Suppose 84. g of sulfuric acid is mixed with 19.3 g of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the maximum mass of sodium sulfate that could be produced by the chemical reaction. Round your answer to 3

 significant digits.

Answer 1

NaOH + H2SO4→ Na2SO4 + H2O .

The mole ratio is 1:1

If 84g of sulfuric acid react = $84/98.07=$ 0.8565moles

Then 0.8565 moles of sodium sulfate are produced

Mass= 0.8565× 142= 121.627g
