Really easy Quick stoich help!

Eg. H2SO4 + 2NaOH ------> Na2SO4 + h2O
So yeah i found that the NaOH is the limiting reactant (0.15 mol) 

And the question is to find the mass of sodium sulfate produced.

Im confused though because i thought you had to use the mol of the limiting reactant.

But you actually use the total mol of NaOH (0.30)

What I think is that the 0.15mol of NaOH you found to be limiting was the amount of excess H2SO4. You use all of the limiting reagent, so in this case 0.30 mol. I think this is what you were looking for. Post the whole question then I can double check for you.

Nah it makes sense now- it limits the H2SO4, so Obviously all .30mol would be used to produce the sodium sulfate.

Thank you :)
