Question

How many grams of Na2SO4 can be produced from 423.67 g of NaCl?

Answer 1

Mass of  Na2SO4= 514.18 grams

Further explanation

Given

423.67 g of NaCl

Required

mass of  Na2SO4

Solution

Reaction

2NaCl + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2HCl

mol NaCl :

= 423.67 g : 58.5 g/mol

= 7.24

From the equation, mol Na2SO4 :

= 1/2 x mol NaCl

= 1/2 x 7.24

= 3.62

Mass  Na2SO4 :

= 3.62 mol x 142,04 g/mol

= 514.18 grams
