The amount of  Na₂SO₄ would be 15.09 grams

Stoichiometric calculation

From the equation of the reaction:

4NaOH + 2H₂SO₄ --> 2Na₂SO₄ + 4H₂O

Mole ratio of NaOH and Na₂SO₄ = 2:1

Mole of 8.50 grams of NaOH = 8.50/40

                                                 = 0.21 mole

Equivalent mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.21/2

                                              = 0.11 mole

Mass of 0.11 mole Na₂SO₄ = 0.11 x 142.04

                                             = 15.09 grams
