Sodium hydroxide sol'n solution is poured into a beaker of hydrochloric acid which contains a thermometer showing room temperature. a) What is the name of the product produced? b) What type of reaction does the thermometer's temperature rise prove?

A) Sodium hydroxide sol'n + Hydrochloric acid = sodium chlorideB) Thermometer will show temperature rise as this is an exothermic neutralisation reaction.

Using the % yield calculation (please state), what is the percentage yield for the reaction of calcium oxide with water to produce calcium hydroxide if the theoretical yield is 4.0g but only 1.5g is produced?


For the reaction, 2SO2(g) + O2(g) => 2SO3(g), suggest the optimal conditions to maximise yield of SO3 when the forward reaction is exothermic.
