Answer

2NaOH+CuSO4⟶Na2SO4+Cu(OH)2↓2[23+1664+2[16+1]+1]=64+34=80 g=98g\begin{matrix} 2\text{NaOH} & + & \text{CuSO}4 & \longrightarrow & \text{Na}2\text{SO}4 & + & \text{Cu(OH)}2\downarrow \ 2[23 + 16 & & & & & & 64 + 2[16 + 1] \ + 1] & & & & & & = 64 + 34 \ = 80 \text{ g} & & & & & & = 98 \text{g} \ \end{matrix}

80 g of sodium hydroxide precipitates 98 g of copper hydroxide.

∴ 200 g of sodium hydroxide will precipitate 9880\dfrac{98}{80} x 200 = 245 g of copper hydroxide.

Hence, 245 g. of copper hydroxide is precipitated.
