Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given as;

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O  

a. How many moles of sodium sulfate are produced if 13 g of sulfuric acid is used in the reaction?

From the reaction;

1 mol of H2SO4 produces 1 mol of Na2SO4

Converting 13g of sulphuric acid to mol;

Number of moles = Mass /  Molar mass

Number of moles = 13g / 98.0785 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1325 mol

Since the mol ratio is 1: 1. This means

0.1325 mol of sodium sulfate would be formed.

b. How many molecules of water are produced if 2.0 g of sodium sulfate is produced in the above reaction?

From the reaction;

1 mol of Na2SO4 is produced alongside  2 mol of H2O

Converting 2g of sodium sulfate mol;

Number of moles = Mass /  Molar mass

Number of moles = 2g / 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.01408 mol

Since the mol ratio is 1: 2. This means

0.02816 mol of water would be formed.

1 mol of water = 6.022×10^23 molecules

0.02816 mol = x

Solving for x;

x = 1.696 ×10^22 molecules

c. What mass of sulfuric acid is required to completely react with 3.4 x 1024 formula units of sodium hydroxide?

From the reaction;

1 mol of H2SO4 reacts with 2 mol of NaOH

1 mol = 6.022×10^23 units

x mol = 3.4 x 10^24 units

Solving for x;

x = 5.646 mol of NaOH

Since the mole ratio is 1:2;

5.646 mol / 2 = 2.823 mol of sulphuric acid

Converting too mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 2.823 mol * 98.0785 g/mol

Mass = 276.88 g
