Question

How many grams of NaCl required to completely neutralize 100ml of 1M of H2SO4?

Answer 1

Sodium chloride will NOT neutralize sulfuric acid...we need approx. `8*g` `NaOH` to effect the neutralization.....

Explanation:

You gots a `100*mL` volume of `H_2SO_4` at `1*mol*L^-1` concentration..

And thus …………………..

`n_(H_2SO_4)=100*mLxx10^-3*L*mL^-1xx1*mol*L^-1=0.100*mol`

But we require TWO EQUIV `NaOH` given the equation...

`H_2SO_4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) rarr Na_2SO_4(aq) +2H_2O(l)`

...a mass of `0.200*molxx40.00*g*mol^-1=??*g`
