<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] 2NaOH (s) + CO₂ (g) → Na₂CO₃ (s) + H₂O (l)

[Given] 1.85 mol NaOH

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol NaOH → 1 mol H₂O

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 1.85 \ mol \ NaOH(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2O}{2 \ mol \ NaOH})(\frac{18.02 \ g \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 16.6685 \ g \ H_2O$
