According to the statement
2.12 x 10^4 lbs pounds of CaCO₃ are needed to neutralize this acid
<h3>What is neutralization?</h3>A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other is known as neutralization or neutralization. In a water reaction, neutralization ensures that there is no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions in the solution.
<h3>According to the given information:</h3>The equation of the neutralization reaction between H2SO4 and CaCO3.
CaCO3 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2CO3
H2CO3 dissociate to water and carbon dioxide.
CaCO3 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2O + CO2
Now solving for the mass of CaCO3 needed to neutralize the acid.
mass of CaCO3 = 9460 Kg H2SO4 ×
= 21284.56606
mass of CaCO3 = 2.12 x 10^4 lbs
2.12 x 10^4 lbs pounds of CaCO₃ are needed to neutralize this acid.

4 moles of water are produced
Explanation:
- 4 moles of water are produced when 5 moles of hydrogen is reacted with 2 moles of oxygen gas
- The balanced equation given is when 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen and it forms 2 moles of water.
- The equation we have to solve is the 5 moles of hydrogen is reacting with 2 moles of oxygen gas, we can write the equation as
- This is the balanced equation when 5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 2 moles of oxygen. The balanced equation means the number of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms on both sides would be equal in number.
