    Answer:

    69.7 g of Na₂SO₄

    Explanation:

    We’ll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

    H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH —> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

    Next, we shall determine the masses of H₂SO₄ and NaOH that reacted and the mass of Na₂SO₄ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as shown below:

    Molar mass of H₂SO₄ = (2×1) + 32 + (4×16)

    = 2 + 32 + 64

    = 98 g/mol

    Mass of H₂SO₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 98 = 98 g

    Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1

    = 40 g/mol

    Mass of NaOH from the balanced equation = 2 × 40 = 80 g

    Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ = (2×23) + 32 + (4×16)

    = 46 + 32 + 64

    = 142 g/mol

    Mass of Na₂SO₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 142 = 142 g

    SUMMARY:

    From the balanced equation above,

    98 g of H₂SO₄ reacted with 80 g of NaOH to produce 142 g of Na₂SO₄.

    Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

    From the balanced equation above,

    98 g of H₂SO₄ reacted with 80 g of NaOH.

    Therefore, 48.1 g of H₂SO₄ will react with = (48.1 × 80)/98 = 39.3 g of NaOH.

    From the calculation made above, we can see that only 39.3 g of NaOH out of 51 g given was needed to react completely with 48.1 g of H₂SO₄. Therefore, H₂SO₄ is the limiting reactant and NaOH is the excess reactant.

    Finally, we shall determine the maximum mass of Na₂SO₄ produced from the reaction. This can be obtained by using the limiting reactant as illustrated below:

    NOTE: H₂SO₄ is the limiting

    From the balanced equation above,

    98 g of H₂SO₄ reacted to produce 142 g of Na₂SO₄.

    Therefore, 48.1 g of H₂SO₄ will react to produce = (48.1 × 142)/98 = 69.7 g of Na₂SO₄.

    Thus, 69.7 g of Na₂SO₄ were obtained from the reaction.
