Lab 6 Assignment: Alka Seltzer Strength
Be sure to report all data and calculated results with the correct number of significant figures. Record all digits when making measurements. Follow the rules for significant figures
, and remember that the rules for addition and subtraction differ from the rules from multiplication and division.
Part 1: Determining the Nature of the Reaction
1. Based on the Background information, what product of the reaction causes the bubbling to occur when Alka-Seltzer is added to the vinegar?
The product of the reaction causing the bubbles is the carbon dioxide gas or CO2.
2. Based on the Background information, what component of Alka-Seltzer reacts with the acid in the vinegar? Write its name and chemical formula.
Sodium Bicarbonate – NaHCO3
3. Use the Background information and Chapter 4 in your textbook as a reference to write a balanced equation (including physical states) for the reaction you observed when you added sodium bicarbonate to the acid in vinegar, acetic acid, HC

(
aq
). NaHCO3(s)+HC2H3O2(aq)→H2O(l)+CO2(g)+NaC2H3O2(aq)
4. Explain why the other components of Alka-Seltzer (described in the Background) should not react with acetic acid in vinegar to product a gas.
The other components of Alka-Seltzer don’t have the necessary components to participate in the acid-
base neutralization reaction therefor they don’t react with anything in the reaction.

Column 1: This initial mass
(before reaction) is the measured mass of the beaker containing the vinegar solution PLUS the mass of the Alka-Seltzer tablet (2.000 g). Column 2: This final mass
is the measured mass of the beaker with its solution after the reaction between the Alka-Seltzer with the vinegar. Column 3: Calculate the mass of CO
2
evolved in each beaker by subtracting the final mass from the initial mass.
Show calculation for Beaker #1 here.
69.089g-68.500g = .589g
Column 4: Convert the mass of CO
2
evolved (column 3) to moles of CO
2
evolved. When determining molar mass of CO
2
, be sure to use at least four significant figures in your molar mass values obtained from the periodic table. For Beaker #1, write the value for mass of CO
2
evolved and show your calculation here.
.589g / (44g/mol) = .0134 mols
6. Which of the following statements is true? Circle or highlight your choice.
A.
The moles of the CO
2
gas evolved should be equal to the moles of the NaHCO
3
(in the Alka-
Seltzer tablet) that reacted.
B.
The mass of the CO
2
gas evolved should be equal to the mass of the Alka-Seltzer tablet.
C.
The moles of the CO
2
gas evolved should be less than the moles of the NaHCO
3
(in the Alka-
Seltzer tablet) that reacted.
D.
The mass of the CO
2
gas evolved should be equal to the mass of the NaHCO
3
in the Alka-Seltzer tablet.

Part 2: Determining the Percent-By-Mass NaHCO3 in Alka-Seltzer
Be sure to report all data and calculated results with the correct number of significant figures. Record all digits when making measurements. Follow the rules for significant figures
, and remember that the rules for addition and subtraction differ from the rules from multiplication and division.

Column 1: This initial mass
(before reaction) is the measured mass of the beaker containing the water and vinegar PLUS the mass of the Alka-Seltzer tablet (3.000 g). Column 2: This final mass
is the measured mass of each beaker with its solution after the reaction
between the Alka-Seltzer with the vinegar and water. Column 3: Calculate the mass of CO
2
evolved in each beaker by subtracting the final mass from the initial mass.
Show calculation for Beaker #6 here.
65.026g – 64.172g = .854g

10. As noted in the background to the lab, each Alka-Seltzer tablet contains acids such as aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid) and citric acid. These are the only acids that react with the NaHCO
3
in the tablet in Trial 1
of Part 2
when no vinegar was added.

3
reacted in Trial 1? .0173 mols
(b) How many moles of H

(from aspirin and citric acid) reacted
with NaHCO

in Trial 1. The net

(c) Assume that the number of moles of NaHCO
3
that reacted in Trial 1 were not available to react
with the vinegar added in later trials. In Table 7 (Column 5), you determined moles of NaHCO
3
that reacted in each trial, which is the moles of NaHCO
3
that reacted in each tablet. Specifically for Trial 6, determine the number of moles of NaHCO
3
in the tablet that are available
in each tablet to neutralize stomach acid (HCl) when taken as an antacid. Write the value with units and show your calculation here
.
(d) Convert moles of available
NaHCO
3
per tablet you calculated in10(c) to units of grams
/tablet.
Write the value with units and show your calculation here
.
11. Use your answer to 10(d) to calculate the
percent-by-mass composition of NaHCO

The industrial production of nitric acid (HNO3) is a
multistep process. The first step is the oxidation of
ammonia (NH3) over a catalyst with excess oxygen
(O2) to produce nitrogen monoxide (NO) gas as
shown by the unbalanced equation given here:

Correct answer is shown. Your answer 443.34 L was either rounded differently or used a different number of
significant figures than required for this part.
You have calculated the theoretical volume of O2 needed to produce 18.0 mol of NO. However, in the industrial
production of NO, oxygen is added in excess of this amount.
