When a person has excess stomach acid, he or she may ingest some sodium bicarbonate. The rationale for doing this is that the so

dium bicarbonate is:
a base and will neutralize the excess acid
an acid and will weaken the excess acid
neutral and will dilute the excess acid
It will make the person thirsty; they will drink water and dilute the excess acid.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sodium bicarbonate has molecular formula as NaHCO_{3}. It is basic in nature as it dissociates to give sodium and bicarbonate ions.

When excess of acid is formed in the stomach then it means there is increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. So, when sodium bicarbonate is ingested then it will neutralize the excess of acid formed in the stomach.

Thus, we can conclude that the rationale for doing this is that the sodium bicarbonate is a base and will neutralize the excess acid.

6.5 Moles of Al reacts with 7.2 Moles of H2O What is the limiting reactant and calculate the Theoretical Yield?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

H₂O is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂

Explanation:

Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.

6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O

We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al.  But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O.  Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.

Now find the theoretical yield:

7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃

7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂

Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.
