Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. This balanced equation shows the reaction

of sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid: 2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O. In a laboratory experiment, a student mixes 355 grams of sulfuric acid with an excess of sodium hydroxide. What is the theoretical mass of sodium sulfate produced? Refer to the periodic table and the polyatomic ion resource. The theoretical mass of sodium sulfate is grams.

Answer:

514.5 g.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
  • It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.
  • Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄  is the limiting reactant.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:

n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.

∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.

  • Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:

∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ =  no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.

The law of conservation of mass is applicable to
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a chemical equation.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

It is applicable in a chemical when the the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to  the mass of the reactants.

But it is not applicable in a nuclear fusion as some of the mass is generated as energy.
