Question

Aqueous sulfuric acid (H,SO) will react with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqueous sodium sulfate (Na,so) and liquid water (H,0). Suppose 5.9 g of sulfuric acid is mixed with 2.59 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.

Ist of all we calculate limiting reagent, one of the simplest way to identify a limiting reagent is to compare how much product each reactant will produced. The reactant which produced less amount of product is called limiting reagent. domsiting reagent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. The amount of product formed ů limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot be continue without it. using above equation 5.94504 x Imole ksoy x soy Imole Nasou x Imole uso y 142g Nasoy = 0.55g Na, soy Imole Na Boy v Imole Na, Sou u ~ 4.444 Imole Akon Imole non Hog Noon 2.59 NoH x Imole Na2Soy x amole Naon . 142g Na, Soy hmole Nylon 1. . So, Naon is limiting reagent, and the amounts of nasson formed is equal to 4.449.
