if n(H2C2O4*2H2O) = 6.44*10-6, what is the amount of NaOH in moles?
H2C2O4 + 2NaOH Na2C2O4 + 2H2O
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, the number of the moles of the oxalic acid relates to the number of the moles of sodium hydroxide as:
.
The number of the moles of H2C2O4 equals the number of the moles of H2C2O4*2H2O, as there is one molecule of oxalic acid per hydrate unit.
Therefore, if mol, the amount of NaOH in moles is mol.
