How many g of baking soda, NaHCO3, are needed to react with 130 mL of stomach acid having an HCl concentration

Question

How many g of baking soda, NaHCO3, are needed to react with 130 mL of stomach acid having an HCl concentration of 0.045 M?

Answer 1

write that balanced equation!

assuming its 1 to 1 (if it is or not, you have to figure it out) ration of sodium bicarbonate to HCl in this reaction, you will need and equal number of moles of each.

.13 L of .045 mol/L HCl gives you .00585 moles of HCL

which means you need that many moles of sodium bicarbonate.

find the molecular with of NaHCO3 and multipy it my .00585 and

voila
