aqueous hydrochloric acid will react with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium chloride and liquid water . suppose 0.729 g of hydrochloric acid is mixed with 1.6 g of sodium hydroxide. calculate the maximum mass of sodium chloride that could be produced by the chemical reaction. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
The maximum mass of sodium chloride that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 4.92 g.
As cl reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium chloride and water.
no. of moles of Hcl =no. of moles of Nacl
mas of Nacl = 0.0905 x 54.4 = 4.92 g.
Stoichiometry is 1 to 1 straight across. So if we have 0.729 grams of hydrochloric acid, we can convert that into moles hydrochloric acid by using the molar mass of hydrochloric acid, which will be the mass of 1 mole hydrogen and 1 mole chlorine.
the maximum mass of sodium chloride that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 4.92 g.
