Answer: X2Y3
Explanation: I had the same question ;) (and got it right)
Answer:
74.4 ml
Explanation:
C₆H₈O₇(aq) + 3NaHCO₃(s) => Na₃C₆H₅O₃(aq + 3CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l)
Given 15g = 15g/84g/mol = 0.1786mole Sodium Bicarbonate
From equation stoichiometry 3moles NaHCO₃ is needed for each mole citric acid or, moles of citric acid needed is 1/3 of moles sodium bicarbonate used.
Therefore, for complete reaction of 0.1786 mole NaHCO₃ one would need 1/3 of 0.1786 mole citric acid or 0.0595 mole H-citrate.
The question is now what volume of 0.8M H-citrate solution would contain 0.0595mole of the H-citrate? This can be determined from the equation defining molarity. That is => Molarity = moles solute / Liters of solution
=> Volume (Liters) = moles citric acid / Molarity of citric acid solution
=> Volume needed in liters = 0.0.0595 mole/0.80M = 0.0744 Liters or 74.4 ml
