Question

2 NaOH + H2SO4 ------> 2 H2O + Na2SO4What is the mole ratio of H2O to H2SO4?

Answer 1

Answer

The mole ratio of H2O to H2SO4 is 2:1

Explanation

Given chemical equation:

$2\text{NaOH }+H_2SO_4\rightarrow2H_2O+Na_2SO_4$

From the balanced chemical equation above, 2 moles of NaOH react with sulfuric acid, 1 mole of H2SO4, to produce 2 moles of water and 1 mole sodium sulfate.

So, from the chemical equation, you have a 2:1 mole ratio between H2O and H2SO4
