Question

A solution of sodium hydroxide was added to a solution of sulfuric acid. How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react with 1 mole of sulfuric acid?

Answer 1

Answer:

We use the stoichiometry (fancy way of saying mole ratios in an equation) to make predictions about how much product will be made or reactant needed if we know one mole amount in a reaction. In this reaction the stoichiometry (mole ratio) is 1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide (1:2 ratio) .
