### Chemistry Problem Example: Stoichiometry

**Problem Statement:**

13) If 82 grams of Sodium Phosphate (Na₃PO₄) and 32 grams of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) are allowed to react, how many grams of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) can be created?

The unbalanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
\[ \_\_\_\_\_ \text{Na}_3\text{PO}_4 + \_\_\_\_\_ \text{KOH} \rightarrow \_\_\_\_\_ \text{NaOH} + \_\_\_\_\_ \text{K}_3\text{PO}_4 \]

**Options:**
a) 10.5 grams  
b) 22.8 grams  
c) 36.9 grams  
d) 95.6 grams  

To solve this problem, you need to:
1. **Write the balanced chemical equation** for the reaction.
2. **Convert grams of the reactants** (Sodium Phosphate and Potassium Hydroxide) to moles using their molar masses.
3. **Use stoichiometry** to find the limiting reactant.
4. **Calculate the moles of Sodium Hydroxide** produced based on the limiting reactant.
5. **Convert the moles of Sodium Hydroxide** to grams.

Please follow these steps systematically to find the correct answer.
