Explanation / Answer

2.)

H2SO4 + 2 NaOH ---> Na2SO4 + H2O

30 g of H2SO4 => 30 g / 98.08 g/mol => 0.3059 mol

30 g NaOH => 30 g/ 40 g/mol => 0.75 mol

1 mol of H2SO4 require 2 mol of NaOH

so 0.3059 mol H2SO4 required 2*0.3059 => 0.6118 mol of NaOH

but amount of NaOH presents is 0.75 mol.

Hence H2SO4 is limitting reagent.

moles of H2SO4 = moles of Na2SO4

so moles of Na2SO4 => 0.3059 mol

mass of Na2SO4 = 0.3059 mol x 142 g/mol => 43.44 g of Na2SO4.

3.) C + 2 CuO ---> CO2 + 2 Cu

Need to produce 1.0 mol of Cu.

1 mol of C and 2 mol of CuO produces 1 mol of CO2 and 2 mol of Cu.

So 0.5 mol of C and 1 mol of CuO can produce 0.5 mol of CO2 and 1 mol of Cu.

0.5 mol of C = 0.5 mol x 12 g/mol => 6.0 g

1 mol of CuO = 1 mol x 79.54 g/mol => 79.54 g

0.5 mol of CO2 = 0.5 mol x 44 g/mol => 22.0 g

C       +   2 CuO     ---> CO2 + 2 Cu

6.0 g         79.54 g           22.0 g      1 mol
