Answer: 15.1 grams
Given reaction:
Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3
Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g
Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol
# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH
# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles
Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol
Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams
