Sodium hydrogen carbonate NaHCO3 , also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. A

cid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid HCl , which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO3 neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl (aq) + NaHCO3 (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g) The CO2 gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a man suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 200.mL of a 0.035 M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO3 would he need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

<em>The mass of NaHCO₃ that the man would need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl is 0.059 g.</em>

<em />

Explanation:

1) <u>Chemical equation (given)</u>:

  • HCl (aq) + NaHCO₃ (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)

Both sides have the same number of atoms of each element:

Element       Let side      Right side

H                  1 + 1 = 2       1 × 2 = 2

Cl                 1                   1

Na                1                   1

C                  1                   1

O                 3                   1 + 2 = 3

Hence, the equation is balanced.

2. <u>Mole ratios:</u>

<u />

  • 1 mol HCl  : 1 mol NaHCO₃ : 1 mol NaCl : 1 mol H₂O : 1 mol CO₂

2)<u> Determine the number of moles of HCl in solution</u>:

  • M = n / V (liters) ⇒ n = M × V (liters)
  • V (liters) = 200.mL (1 liter / 1000 mL) = 0.200 liter
  • n = 0.035 M  × 0.200 liter = 0.00070 mol of HCl

3) <u>Set a proportion with the stoichiometric ratio and the actual ratio</u>:

  • 1 mol NaHCO₃ / 1 mol HCl = x / 00070 mol HCl

        ⇒ x = 0.00070 mol NaHCO₃

4.<u> Convert 0.0070 mol NaHCO₃ to grams</u>:

  • Mass in grams = molecular mass × number of moles
  • molecular mass NaHCO₃ = 84.007 g/mol
  • Mass of NaHCO₃ = 84.007 g/mol × 0.00070 mol = 0.0588 g ≈ 0.059 g

The answer has two significant digits because the molarity (0.035 M) is reported with two signficant digits.

A reaction was suppose to produce 20 L of gas. Only 12 litters of gas were produced in the lab. What is the percent yield for th
pogonyaev

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 60 \%}}

Explanation:

Percent yield is a ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. It is found using this formula:

\% \ yield= \frac {actual \ yield}{theoretical \  yield} *100

The actual yield is 12 liters, because that was actually produced in the lab.

The theoretical yield is 20 liters, because that was the expected yield.

\% \ yield= \frac {12 \ L}{20\ L} *100

\% \ yield= 0.6*100

\% \ yield= 60

For this reaction, the percent yield is 60%.

Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale
Valentin [98]
It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.
