Question

Suppose that H2SO4 was used in the reaction instead of HCl. How many moles of NaOH would neutralize 1 mole of H2SO4?

Answer 1

Suppose that H2SO4 was used in the reaction instead of HCl. How many moles of NaOH would neutralize 1 mole of H2SO4?
the answer is 2

Answer 2

Answer: Hence, 2 moles of NaOH would neutralize 1 mole of
`H_2SO_4`

Step-by-step explanation:

`HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O`

One mole of hydrochloric acid neutralizes one mole of sodium hydroxide to give one mole of sodium chloride and one mole of water

When sulfuric acid is used in the place of HCl , 1 mole of sulfuric acid will neutralizes the 2 mole of sodium hydroxide and gives one mole of sodium sulfate and 2 moles of water. As we can see from the reaction:

`H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O`

Hence, 2 moles of NaOH would neutralize 1 mole of
`H_2SO_4`
