Answer:he balanced chemical equation is
H
2
SO
4
+2NaOH→Na
2
SO
4
+2H
2
O
Thus, 1 mole H
2
SO
4
will react with 2 moles of NaOH.
The molecular weights of H
2
SO
4
and NaOH are 98 g/mol and 40 g/mol respectively.
The mass is divided with molecular weight to obtain the number of moles.
The number of moles of H
2
SO
4
=
98
98
=1 mole.
The number of moles of NaOH =
40
40
=1 mole.
Thus 1 mole of H
2
SO
4
and 1 mole of NaOH are present.
0.5 mole of H
2
SO
4
will react with 1 mole of NaOH.
Thus H
2
SO
4
is the excess reagent and NaOH is limiting reactant.
1 mole of H
2
SO
4
will produce 1 mole of Na
2
SO
4
Hence, 0.5 mole of H
2
SO
4
will produce 0.5 mole of Na
2
SO
4
The molecular weight of Na
2
SO
4
is 142 g/mol.
The mass of Na
2
SO
4
produced is 0.5×142=71 g.
