Your answer:

142 g


114 g


33.1 g


250 g

NEED HELP!!!! AND IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER CAN YOU EXPLAIN IT.

Respuesta :

Answer:
            Option-A, 142 g is the correct answer.

Solution:
Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

                            2 NaOH  +  HSO₄    →    NaSO₄  +  2 HO

According to equation,

       79.98 g (2 mole) NaOH react to form  =  142 g (1 mole) of Na
₂SO₄
So,
         80 g NaOH on reaction will produce  =  X g of Na₂SO₄

Solving for X,
                                X  =  (142 g × 80 g) ÷ 79.99 g

                                X  =  142.01 g of Na₂SO₄
