How many grams of water can be formed when 80 grams of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) reacts with an excess of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, in solution? 2NaOH + H2SO4 --> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

grams water

36g of H2O.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction:

2NaOH + H2SO4 —> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of NaOH that reacted and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Mass of NaOH from the balanced equation = 2 x 40 = 80g

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 2 x 18 = 36g.

From the balanced equation above, we can see evidently that:

80g of NaOH reacted to produce 36g of H2O.
