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 4.00 g of NaOH, if the student adds excess HCl to the NaOH how much NaCl will be produced? Show all your work.

Question

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 4.00 g of NaOH, if the student adds excess HCl to the NaOH how much NaCl will be produced? Show all your work. 
Write the balanced reaction.
 HCl + NaOH yields  NaCl + H20
                      Reactants		Products
Count each type of atom on both sides of the reaction.

Calculate the molar mass of NaCl and NaOH.

Use the above information to calculate the mass of NaCl produced from the reaction.

It looks like it's pretty clear what has to be done. What have you done so far? Once you know how many moles of NaOH you have, the equation will tell you how many moles of products to expect.
