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.

what is the  concentration of a NaCl solution, in Molarity, if you add 59.76 g of NaCl into 270 mL of H2O
enot [183]

Hey there!

Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles

n =  mass of solute / molar mass

n = 59.76 / 58.44

n = 1.0225 moles of NaCl

Volume in liters:

270 mL / 1000 => 0.27 L

Therefore:

M = number of moles / volume ( L )

M = 1.0225 / 0.27

= 3.78 M

Hope that helps!

A covalent bond describes two atoms (most likely nonmetals) that share their valence electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals, and they would share electrons with each other through a bond that is not polar enough to be considered ionic. The answer should be B

What is the percent of Cr in Cr2O3
IgorLugansk [536]
The percentage of Chromium in Chromium Oxide is calculated as follow,

Step 1:
           Calculate Molar mass of Cr₂O₃,
Cr = 51.99 u
O = 16 u
So,
     2(51.99) + 3(16) = 103.98 + 48 = 151.98 u

Step 2:
          Secondly divide molar mass of only chromium with total mass of Cr₂O₃ and multiply with 100.
i.e.
                   = \frac{103.98}{151.98} × 100
                   
                   = 68.41 %
So, the %age composition of chromium in chromium oxide is 68.41 %.
