Answer:

335.35 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert grams of H2SO4 to moles and get 4.08 moles.

Using stoichiometry, the chemical equation tells us that for every mole of H2SO4, one mole of Na2SO4 is produced. This means that, theoretically, you should get 4.08 moles.

Convert moles to grams and get 335.34 g.

However, if you were to actually perform this reaction, you would get less than the theoretical value.

Hope this helps! <3
