Consider the chemical reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H2O). Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction and determine the mole ratio of NaOH and HCl required for complete reaction. If we start with 10 grams of NaOH and 20 grams of HCl, determine which is the limiting reagent, the amount of excess reagent left over, and the mass of NaCl and H2O produced.

Consider an electrochemical cell containing a copper electrode in a 0.5 M CuSO4 solution and a silver electrode in a 1.0 M AgNO3 solution. Calculate the current density at a temperature of 25°C given that the copper electrode has a surface area of 5 cm² and the silver electrode has a surface area of 10 cm². The standard reduction potentials for Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ are -0.34 V and 0.80 V, respectively. Use the Nernst equation to calculate the cell potential and then use Ohm's law to calculate the current density.
