Sodium bicarbonate (or baking soda) will cause both exothermic and endothermic reactions when added to water. It becomes either unstable or stable carbonic acid, which will eventually become CO2. The reaction would be exothermic is when H2CO3 (Carbonic Acid unstable) is formed and endothermic is when CO2 is.
Answer:
The pH of the solution is 1.66
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Number of moles HCl = 0.022 moles
Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate molarity of HCl
Molarity HCl = moles HCl / volume
Molarity HCl = 0.022 moles / 1 L = 0.022 M
[HCl] = [H+] = 0.022 M
Step 3: Calculate pH
pH = -log [H+]
pH = -log(0.022)
pH = 1.66
The pH of the solution is 1.66
