To determine the rate of production for sodium sulfate, we can use the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation.

From the balanced equation: 1 mol of H2SO4 reacts to produce 1 mol of Na2SO4.

Therefore, if the rate of reaction for H2SO4 is 1.60 mol/L·s, the rate of production for Na2SO4 will also be 1.60 mol/L·s.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) 1.60 mol/L·s.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reconsider the stoichiometry of the reaction:

From the balanced equation: 1 mol of H2SO4 reacts to produce 1 mol of Na2SO4.

Since the rate of reaction for H2SO4 is 1.60 mol/L·s, the rate of production for Na2SO4 will also be 1.60 mol/L·s.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) 1.60 mol/L·s.
