chmvijay · Answer

2NaOH +H2SO4 =Na2SO4 + 2H2O

chmvijay · Answer

what do u think about limiting reagent

anonymous · Answer

Would it be the h20? If I did this right, I think it yields 6.75 grams?

chmvijay · Answer

limiting reagent should be from reactant side it has nothing to do with product

anonymous · Answer

I mean NaOH, oops! :)

chmvijay · Answer

can you convert 15 of NaOH and 15 g of H2SO4 to moles

chmvijay · Answer

just divide 15 by their molecular weight !! u get moles :)

chmvijay · Answer

limiting reagent is the one of the reactant which in less quantity and is completely utilized in the reaction

chmvijay · Answer

yaaa its NaOH
