Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NAHCO,), also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid (HCI) , which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO, neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl(aq) + NaHCO,(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H,O(1) + CO,(g) The CO, 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 150. mL of a 0.086 M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO, would he need to ingest to neutralize this much HCI ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

A solution of sodium cyanide, NaCN, has a pH of 12.10. How many grams of NaCN are in 425 mL of a solution with the same pH?
According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?
Write a net ionic equation for any precipitation reaction that occurs when 1 M solutions of the following are mixed. (a) copper(II) sulfate and sodium chloride (b) manganese(II) nitrate and ammonium hydroxide (c) silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid (d) nickel(II) sulfate and potassium hydroxide (e) ammonium carbonate and sodium nitrate
Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.
1. Once a chemical equilibrium has been established, only the forward reaction occurs. only the reverse reaction occurs. the forward and reverse reactions occur at an equal rate. the forward and reverse reactions stop.
A mountain lake that is 4.0 km × 6.0 km with an average depth of 75 m has an H+(aq) concentration of 1.3 × 10−6 M. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that would have to be added to the lake to change the H+(aq) concentration to 6.3 × 10−8 M. Assume that all the carbonate is converted to carbon dioxide, which bubbles out of the solution.
