Answer:
Mass of sodium hydroxide needed = 28.2 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sodium hydroxide = 80 g
Mass of sodium sulfate produced = 142 g
Mass of sodium hydroxide needed = ?
Mass of sodium sulfate produced = 50 g
Solution:
Mass of sodium sulfate produced / Mass of sodium hydroxide = Mass of sodium sulfate produced / x
142 g/ 80 g = 50 g / x
x = 50 g × 80 g / 142 g
x =4000 g/ 142
x = 28.2 g
precipitate is the answer
