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

2 mole of Sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of Sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Write down the equation in the beginning with reactants and products:

NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Now try to balance it. Try with Na first:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Na atoms are balanced. There are 6 Oxygen atoms on the right and 5 on the left. Balance by increasing the H₂O moles:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

Check if H atoms are also balanced. They are. That means our final reaction is:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

2 Moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄
