Answer:
Neutralization reactions
Explanation:
A neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base. Products of this type of reaction is water and a salt. The pH of the salt product would depend on how strong or weak the base and acid would be when they react with each other. Although the characteristics of bases and acids are practically polar opposites, when combined, they cancel each other our producing a neutralized product.
Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide =Sodium chloride +water
We determine the percent by mass of water in the compound by dividing the mass of water by the total mass. The total mass of Na2SO4.10H2O is equal to 322 g. The mass of water is 180 g.
percent by mass of water = (180 / 322)*(100 %) = 55.9%
