NEET 2024 Chemistry Limiting Reactant Calculation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

1 gram of sodium hydroxide was treated with 25 mL of 0.75 M HCl solution, the mass of sodium hydroxide left unreacted is equal to

A

Zero mg

B

200 mg

C

750 mg

D

250 mg

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The moles of HCl = 0.025 L × 0.75 mol/L = 0.01875 mol. The moles of NaOH = 1 g / 40 g/mol = 0.025 mol. After reaction, 0.025 - 0.01875 = 0.00625 mol NaOH remains, which is 0.00625 mol × 40 g/mol = 250 mg.
