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.

What is the connection between diamonds and stardust?
Ede4ka [16]

According to an article dated back in February 8, 1992 which is entitled, “Science: Stardust is made of diamonds” on a website called newscientist (https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg13318073-000-science-stardust-is-made-of-diamonds/), American astronomers believed that diamonds are made in supernova explosions. It was said that the diamonds were the foundation of uncommon combinations of isotopes found in some meteorites. Donald Clayton of Clemson University in South Carolina suggested that the weightiest isotopes were more common in meteorites for the reason that the rare gases shaped in the neutron-rich outcome of a supernova explosion. Clayton also said, “the observed mixture of isotopes could have been produced only during the collapse of a massive star to form a neutron star”. This happens in a Type II explosion, for example the Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud. And rare gases like xenon become stuck in both weighty and light isotopes after the ejected gas from such a supernova cools down enough to create dust. The existence of the diamonds with these unusual gases in meteorites infers an alike source. Some of the carbon in the supernova fragments produces ordinary graphite dust, whereas some produces diamond dust. Considerable amount of stardust may be made of diamonds, if Clayton was not mistaken.

350.0-mL of 0.50 M hydrogen sulfate solution is reacted with 15.0 grams of sodium hydroxide. What volume of water will be produc
Evgesh-ka [11]

The volume of water that will be produced from the reaction will be 6.3 mL

<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>

From the equation of the reaction:

H_2SO_4 + 2NaOH --- > Na_2SO_4 + 2H_2O

The mole ratio of hydrogen sulfate to sodium hydroxide is 1:2.

Mole of hydrogen sulfate = 0.50 x 350/1000 = 0.175 moles

Mole of 15 grams sodium hydroxide = 15/40 = 0.375 moles

Thus, hydrogen sulfide is the limiting reagent.

Mole ratio of hydrogen sulfide to water = 1:2.

Equivalent mole of water = 0.175 x 2 = 0.35 moles

Mass of 0.35 moles of water = 0.35 x 18 = 6.3 grams.

1 gram of water = 1 ml.

Thus, 6.3 grams of water will be equivalent to 6.3 mL

How is iron extracted? Describe in brief​
Feliz [49]

Answer:Iron is extracted from iron ore in a huge container called a blast furnace. Iron ores such as haematite contain iron(III) oxide, Fe 2O 3. The oxygen must be removed from the iron(III) oxide in order to leave the iron behind. Reactions in which oxygen is removed are called reduction reactions.
