Hydrochloric acid is the primary component of gastric juice in the stomach (see Chemistry in Action: GERD-Too Much Acid or Not E
nough? on p. 299 in the textbook). The reaction between hydrochloric acid and the carbonate ion, the primary active ingredient in antacid tablets such as TUMS®,can be written as HCl(aq)+CO2−3(aq)⇌HCO−3(aq)+Cl−(aq)
1 answer:
Answer:
Acid: HCl(aq), conjugate base: Cl⁻(aq)
Base: CO₃⁻²(aq), conjugate acid: HCO₃⁻(aq)
The rewrite reaction is shown below.
Explanation:
The acid compound is the one that loses an H⁺, and the compound formed when it happens is its conjugate base. The base compound is the acceptor of H⁺, and its conjugate acid is the compound formed (Brosted-Lowry theory).
So, the acid-base pairs are:
Acid: HCl(aq), conjugate base: Cl⁻(aq)
Base: CO₃⁻²(aq), conjugate acid: HCO₃⁻(aq)
The TUMS® is an antacid, so it intends to reduce the concentration of the strong acid HCl. So, the forward reaction is favored. It can be represented with the forward arrow larger than the reversible arrow, as shown in the image below.

Answer: 118.5 grams
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.
where,
n= moles of solute
= volume of solution in ml = 500 ml
moles = 0.75
moles of solute =
0.75 =
mass of = 118.5 grams
Thus mass of needed to prepare 500 mL of this solution iis 118.5 grams
<u>Answer:</u> The complete molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations are given below. The spectator ions are sodium and nitrate ions.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The ionic equation is defined as the equation in which all the substances that are strong electrolytes present in an aqueous state and are represented in the form of ions.
The net ionic equation is defined as the equations in which spectator ions are not included.
Spectator ions are the ones that are present equally on the reactant and product sides. They do not participate in the reaction.
The balanced molecular equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and sodium sulfide follows:
The ionic equation follows:
As sodium and nitrate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.
The net ionic equation follows:
