Question 1 of 10

Question 1 of 10

Sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid: NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O. A student neutralised 4 g of sodium hydroxide with excess acid and obtained 5.27 g of dry sodium chloride. (Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1, Cl = 35.5) Calculate (a) the moles of NaOH used, (b) the theoretical mass of NaCl, (c) the percentage yield. (d) Give one reason why the yield is less than 100%.
