Multiple Choice

A restaurant owner went to clean his oven using a solution that contained 150 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH, 40.0 g/mol) . He decided to neutralize the excess solution with an amount of vinegar containing 300 g of acetic acid (CH₃COOH, 60.1 g/mol) . The products are sodium acetate (82.0 g/mol) and water (18.0 g/mol) . Identify the excess reactant and the amount that remains unreacted. The neutralization reaction equation is
NaOH(aq) + CH₃COOH(aq) $\rightarrow$ NaOOCCH₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

A) 49.6 g of sodium hydroxide remain
B) 74.6 g of sodium hydroxide remain
C) 74.6 g of acetic acid remain
D) 150 g of acetic acid remain
E) 49.6 g of acetic acid remain
