If 16.5 grams of the base were used in the neutralization of *question 7*, how many grams of acid must have been used to neutralize the base?
*neutralization of Na2CO3*
----------------
Would the answer be 16.5g of acid? I was thinking that the acid and base should be the same amount during neutralization to neutralize it....
Does it matter what is being neutralized?

Yes, it matters what is being neutralized AND chemicals reactions don't occur between grams but between mols so you can't make the statement you made (at least and be right).
