A student wants to conduct an experiment to see how much NaCl can be produced in the reaction between HCl and NaOH with water as the additional product. The student has 3.21 g of NaOH, if the student adds excess HCl to the NaOH how much NaCl will be produced? Show all your work.

Answer 1

3.21 g NaOH = 3.21/40 = 0.08 moles
NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
so you will get that many moles of NaCl and H2O
convert back to grams
