Question

Given the following balanced chemical reaction, calculate the amount of moles of H2O that are formed if you start with 10 moles of H2SO4.

H2SO4 +2NaOH-->2H2O+Na2SO4

Answer 1

20

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 1 mole of H2SO4, 2 moles of water are produced.

Therefore, if you start with 10 moles of H2SO4, then the number of moles of H2O produced is:

1/2 = 10/x

x = (2)(10) = 20
