Answer: Theoretical mass of sodium sulphate (
) is 514.118 grams.
Explanation: For a given reaction,

As NaOH is used in excess, therefore it is an excess reagent and
is a limiting reagent as the quantity of the product will depend on it.
We are given 355 grams of
.
Molar mass of
= 98.079 g/mol
Molar mass of
= 142.04 g/mol
1 mole of
is producing 1 mole of
, so
98.079 g/mol of
will produce 142.04 g/mol of
355 grams of
will produce =
of 
Mass of
= 514.118 grams
A redox reaction is a reaction that involves both reduction and oxidation, it involves a reducing agent which looses electrons and undergoes oxidation and an oxidizing agent that gains electrons (reduction). I believe the following are true about redox reactions; Electrons move from one substance to another, One atom gains electrons and one looses electrons.
• Aerobic respiration, photosynthesis
It is aerobic because it requires oxygen to be carried out. Anaerobic on the other hand does not require oxygen.
It’s two products would be the reactants for photosynthesis because in photosynthesis the reverse reaction takes place as glucose is produced along with water from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.
The balanced chemical reaction is written as :
Na2CO3<span> + 2HCl === 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
</span>
We are given the amount of NaCl to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculations. We do as follows:
120 g NaCl ( 1 mol / 58.44 g) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 2 mol NaCl)( 105.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1108.82 g Na2CO3 needed
